Fanning Island — properly Tabuaeran — is a coral atoll in the Line Islands that briefly hosted a Pacific Cable Company relay station in the early twentieth century, making it one of the more historically specific place names to appear on any Pacific numismatic fantasy piece. The "paper coloured" brass designation signals a lacquer or enamel treatment applied post-strike, a finishing technique that disqualifies these from any serious monetary classification.
