25 Dollars - Leonard I U.S. Sniper Using a BGM-71 TOW Missile

Hutt River Province — the self-declared micronation in Western Australia founded by Leonard Casley in 1970 after a dispute with the state government over wheat production quotas — issued a series of coins throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s targeting the collector novelty market. This particular piece appeared during the Gulf War, when imagery of Western military hardware carried obvious commercial appeal. The BGM-71 TOW, a wire-guided anti-tank missile system fielded by U.S. forces in Desert Storm, was among the most-discussed weapons in international press coverage at the time.
