The Banco de Kamberra is a private fantasy issuer, not a sovereign or recognized monetary authority — "Kamberra" has no corresponding state. These notes circulate as novelty or collector items only, with no legal tender status anywhere. The 2009 lunar calendar series, of which this Ox note is one issue, was produced as a themed set capitalizing on demand from Chinese New Year collectors, a market several private fantasy houses pursued aggressively in the late 2000s.
Franck Medina is a French designer who worked on a number of privately commissioned numismatic and notaphilic projects during this period. His involvement here is the only production detail of any substance.
