25 Dollars - Leonard I U.S. Army Mortar Attack

Hutt River Province — the micronation declared unilaterally by Leonard Casley in 1970 after a dispute with the Western Australian government over wheat production quotas — issued a sustained series of legal tender coinage throughout the 1980s and 1990s, largely marketed to collectors rather than circulated. This piece commemorates an episode from 1977 when Casley, styling himself Prince Leonard I, formally declared war on Australia, then rescinded it days later, reportedly to exploit a legal technicality related to government correspondence obligations during wartime.

The "U.S. Army Mortar Attack" subject remains characteristically eccentric for the province's numismatic output.
