| Additional information |
Hutt River Province was a self-declared micronation in Western Australia, established in 1970 when farmer Leonard Casley seceded from Australia in a dispute over wheat production quotas. By the 1980s it had developed a full numismatic program, issuing coins through licensed mints largely aimed at collectors rather than any functioning local economy. This 1984 piece commemorates George Orwell — whose most famous work, *Nineteen Eighty-Four*, was of course named for the very year this coin was struck.
