| Comments |
The Galápagos Islands have no independent monetary authority — Ecuador dollarized in 2000 and the islands are an Ecuadorian province, not a sovereign or autonomous issuing jurisdiction. A "2025" paper note denominated in sucres, a currency abolished twenty-five years ago, has no plausible official standing. This is almost certainly a fantasy or novelty piece, produced for the souvenir or collector market rather than any governmental or central bank mandate.
Treat accordingly when cataloging.
