| Additional information |
Fanning Island — properly Tabuaeran — is a Line Islands atoll administered by Kiribati that has never issued its own currency and has no numismatic history of its own. This piece is a fantasy issue: no governmental authority sanctioned it, no central bank approved it, and no horse has any particular connection to the island or its history. Produced for the novelty collector market, it carries the Kiribati name without Kiribati's involvement.
