| Comments |
Not a banknote. This is a novelty gold foil souvenir item with no legal tender status, no central bank origin, and no place in a serious numismatic collection. The "24 carat" descriptor refers to the foil's cosmetic finish, not any actual gold content worth measuring.
Catalog it under fantasy/novelty if you must catalog it at all.
