20 Cents - Leonard I

Hutt River Province was a farming secession — Leonard Casley declared independence from Western Australia in 1970 after a dispute over wheat quotas, and the Commonwealth never formally recognised the claim but also never forcibly ended it. These brass pieces circulated internally and were sold to tourists; the province operated for fifty years before Casley's son dissolved it in 2020 partly due to tax debts accumulated during his father's reign.
