| Additional information |
Hutt River — formally the Province of Hutt River — was a micronation in Western Australia that unilaterally seceded from Australia in 1970 under Leonard Casley, who styled himself Prince Leonard I. It issued coins sporadically through the 1980s and 1990s, mostly gold-plated novelties targeting collectors rather than circulating as any functional currency. This piece, denominated in "dollars" against a monetary system that existed entirely on paper, was produced for the souvenir and exonumia market.
The F/A-18 Hornet had entered Royal Australian Air Force service in 1984, replacing the Mirage III. By 1991 it was the RAAF's frontline fighter.
