| Additional information |
Crimea's contested political status following the 2014 annexation produced a minor cottage industry of "fantasy" issues — coins attributed to a jurisdiction with no independent monetary authority and no recognized mint output. This piece belongs to that wave, produced by private interests exploiting the administrative ambiguity of the peninsula's status to market collectibles under a quasi-official veneer.
The long-eared hedgehog, Hemiechinus auritus, does inhabit the Crimean steppe.
