The legend 'HUTT RIVER PROVINCE' arcs along the upper periphery, while 'NEW QUEENSLAND MINT' appears in a straight legend immediately below the crown. The denomination 'TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS' curves along the lower rim, completing the circular border inscription. |

| Additional information |
Hutt River Province declared independence from Australia in 1970 after a wheat quota dispute with the Western Australian government — a secession that Leonard Casley, self-styled Prince Leonard I, maintained with surprising legal tenacity for decades. By 1991, the micronation had developed a cottage industry in numismatic issues, producing silver coins for the collector market rather than any genuine circulation economy. This piece honoring the U.S. Marines falls squarely in that category.
