| Additional information |
Kurdistan has no internationally recognized government with minting authority, and no central bank empowered to issue currency. This piece was produced by a private mint for the collector market — a so-called "fantasy issue" with no legal tender status under any jurisdiction. The Hijri date 1435 corresponds to 2013–2014, a period when Kurdish autonomy in northern Iraq and northern Syria was a live and intensely violent political question, which likely drove commercial demand for exactly this kind of aspirational numismatic object.
