It's a reference to Barks' atlantis adventure (US 5). 

There's also a Rosa story in which he shows Scrooge's collection of
worthless material, again referring to Barks' stories. I don't know
for sure, but maybe that story shows another 1916 quarter, but in a 
rather different shape. (You'll have to know Barks' altantis story to 
know what I mean with that. If you don't know the story, I don't want 
to spoil it for you by being more specific.)

Does someone know the title of that Rosa story? 
(Just a guess: Was it the "Incredible Shrinking Tightwad"?)

I've checked Uncle Scrooge No. 261, and there the globe contains the
story's title, "Return to Xanadu" to be exactly.
