The world of Mujand (fantasy notes) - 03 c Andaqesh (Lothandizia)

We continue our journey through the world of Blissdane Naïve, and stay on the Lothandizia continent, for the next country: Andaqesh.

Andaqesh (Lothandizia)

The notes in this set (7) are notes 024 - 030. (Serie D - 2014).

Each note has a reference to a time related word : "Tempo, passato, presente, futuro, eternita, realta, fantasia"... or Time, past, present, future, eternity, reality, fantasy...

Andaqesh city is 'the birth place of time travel', and so it is written on their notes : "Luogo di Nascita del Viaggio nel Tempo". No need to say that inspiration was found in Italy.
Despite this, they could not prevent some inflation of their currency, as the denominations start at 1000 finto and ends in 500,000 finto. ('Finto' is italian for 'fake, false').

7 notes with high denomitations

 1,000 - 5,000 and 10,000 Finto

25,000 and 50,000 Finto

100,000 and 500,000 Finto

Andaqesh nation was named after their ruler : Queen Anya Qesh, therefore the bank's name is Qeshing Bank (or is it Cashing bank?).

Not much hidden texts on these notes, but a wise lesson for life on the back of each note :
To save time is to lengthen life ....

The world of Mujand (fantasy notes) - 03 b Kuninganna (Lothandizia)

We continue our story on Lothandizia, where we find the Kuningana Territory.
Kuninganna happens to mean Queen in Estonian.

Kuninganna Territory

This territory issued 8 notes,from 5 till 1000 Fusto. An 'uncommon currency' according the notes.
5 -10 and 25 Fusto. They represent notes 039 to 046 in the set.

 50 - 100 and 200 Fusto

and 500 - 1000 Fusto

On the front side of each note, we see a girl harvesting.

The left border shows a word, that is repeated on some notes: Talv, Pööripäev, Kevad, Pööripäev, Suvi, Pööripäev, Sügis and once more Pööripäev.
The same words can be found under the denomintation, together with the text : "Vilja Koristama".
"Vilja Koristama" = to harvest the fruit.

5 Fusto with 'Vilja Koristama Talv'

The harvesting images reveal that these notes are related to the seasons. And with some knowledge of the Estonian language, we can find out that it represents:  Winter - equinox - Spring - solstice - Summer - equinox - Autumn - solstice

border text on the Kuninganna notes 5 - 1000

Even without knowledge of the Estonian language, the translation in English, of the above terms, are hidden on the notes.

The script lettertype makes it hard to read, but with some effort, you can read it:

8 Kuninganna notes referring to the seasons

A solstice is a bi-annual astronomical event, around June 21 and December 21, when the Sun's apparent position in the sky reaches its northernmost or southernmost extremes.

An equinox is a bi-annual astronomical event, around 20 March and 23 September. It is the moment at which the center of the visible Sun is directly above the equator.

In the table above, we see the equinoxes and solstices on Earth... Info on the same events on Blissdane Naïve, were not availble on wikipedia.org.

The world of Mujand (fantasy notes) - 03 a Terrritory of West Junee (Lothandizia)

In the north east of Blissdane Naïve, the continent of Lothandizia is located.
One of the first countries is the territory of West Junee.

West Junee (Lothandizia)

7 notes were issued (notes 010 to 016) and therefore probably the second set that was made.Here, the inspiration was found in Czech language.
The currency is 'Spatny', Czech for 'poor, bad'...

Banknotes start with 1 Spatny - 5 Spatny - 10 Spatny

20 Spatny - 50 Spatny

100 Spatny and 500 Spatny

 All designs are similar and rather modest, depicting on one side Queen Lorreen Cruzk and a West Junee building, on the other side a dragonfly.
This set is the B-series (notes 010 to 016), issued in 2014

Some of the hidden 'jokes' on the notes :

Bank of Bezcenny (cz) : bank of worthlessness

bank of Bezcenny

Bankovni Dum Bezcenny (cz) : worthless bank institution

Bankovni dum Bezcenny

Zadne Hodnoty - Fantasi bankovka (cz) : of no value - fantasy note

Tajemstvi vylet (cz) : mysterious journey

Tajemstvi vylet

Still not convinced of this set of notes ?
"the West Junee Government values this currency, and so it shall be..."

The world of Mujand (fantasy notes) - 02 a : Lia Antootica (Antootica)

I have shown in previous posts, some fantasy notes of the North Western Continent, i.e. Mujand Republic and Evshlohogi Islands.
Todays post is about a second continent : Antootica, with only one territory: Lia Antootica.

Lia Antootica, the only territory on Antootica

On Lia Antootica, the currency is the Sivar, and the notes come in 5, 10, 25 and 50 (notes 076 to 079), and known as serie M (2017).
On the front side, each note bares the image of a famous pirate captain
Kapitány Vérzes Rogny (5) - Kapitány Meg Valtó (10) - Kapitány Vrad Horog (25) and Kapitány Tinó Zavalos (50).

Lia Antootica notes (front)

at the back side, some dramatic scenes of the pirate's life is shown.

Lia Antootica notes (back)

So far the 'notes' as the appear to most people.
However, having a closer look, made me discover more than expected.

Signatures on Lia Antootica notes

Where the signature is placed, we find "Elnök and Kincstárnok" - or "President and Treasurer" in Hungarian.

A nemzet aranya arany tartalék...

Around the denomination, the lines 'A nemzet aranya arany tartalék' is written... which means 'the gold of the nation, the gold reserve' ... in Hungarian.

Kalózkodás Bank

Behind the word Lia Antootica, we see a map of the island.
Underneath, 'Kalózkodás Bank' is written .... or Hungarian for 'Piracy Bank'

And yet the fun is not over ...

At the back, the text 'a lia antootica kormány értékek a pénznemben, és ez így lesz', which stands for: the government of Lia Antootica values this currency and will (promises to) do so.

a lia antootica kormány értékek a pénznemben, és ez így lesz

In the corner of the 4 notes, we see some information on the people depicted in the front :'a csont kollektor' (the bone collector), 'a jó kalóz (the good pirate)', 'a noothic kalóz' (the gentle pirate) and 'a vandór' (the wanderer).

the 4 pirate's nick names on the corners

And also the ships have names :
a sárkány szeme : the dragon's eye

detail 5 sivar

a szent kard : the holy sword

10 sivar

 a fekete szellem : the black ghost

25 sivar

a kõdõs tùz : the rotten fire

50 sivar

It's like discovering a pirate's treasure ... by the way, 'sivár' means bleak (in Hungarian).
The final easter egg, or hidden joke can be found on the front side, above 'Lia Antootica', where we find the word 'Visszaváltható' and 'Svr = eg¹²' ... "returnable/exchangable + Sivar and foreign currency.

Anyone who finds more hidden references, can contact me.
