Look at this....11 Disser from Elleora. The denomination alone is remarkable, I don't think I have ever seen an 11 before. Nor have I seen Elleora. Anyone here with more experience on these? Elleora is not listed in Krause.

"KINGDOM OF ELLEORE: This is a small island (roughly triangular in shape, each side being approximately 400 meters in length) located deep in Denmark's Roskilde Fjord. The Kingdom was born on August 27, 1944, after a group of professors/schoolteachers, under the leadership of Hans Neerbek, purchased the island. In 1962, a form of Neo-Latin called Interlingua became their official tongue (Neerbek had founded the Danish Interlingua Union in 1960). The island's only permanent residents are birds; it is uninhabited by people for 51 weeks of the year, but during seven days in July, citizens are permitted to visit and go camping there. I obtained a set of their coins from fellow numismatist, Mr. Chaim Dov Shiboleth, who in turn obtained them directly from Elleore's Prime Minister. Their first coin seems to have been a 'Regno de Elloria'; 11 Disser piece dated 1969. In addition, there's a 1979 1 Leo d'Or, a 1983 2 Leo d'Or, a 1984 3 Leo d'Or. There was also a 2003 2 Leo d'Or (...)"

It's not listed in the "Unusual" Krause catalogue, but it's on the USNS website. I'm surprised a "coin" that's been around since 1969 hasn't made it into the Krause book yet.
