Banco de Kamberra is a private fantasy issuer, not a sovereign central bank — "Kamberra" has no recognized monetary authority. The "Numisma" denomination exists nowhere in any official currency system. These notes are produced as collectible novelty pieces, legally distinct from currency in every jurisdiction.
Franck Medina has designed multiple items in this fantasy series. The Gagarin subject places this among a broader trend of private-issue commemorative paper celebrating space exploration anniversaries, likely timed to the 60th anniversary of the April 1961 Vostok 1 flight.
