Notes:

Little can be found concerning this attempt at a monetary union in 1928. Similarly, despite being a well-made production, there appears to be no bibliographic record of this projected, trial coinage nor have any other examples been noted or recalled. The piece weighs 10 grammes and measures 27 mm. in diameter.
