| Additional information |
Hutt River Province declared independence from Western Australia in 1970 under Leonard Casley, who styled himself Prince Leonard I. The micronation issued its own currency, passports, and stamps — treated as novelties by collectors but never recognized by any government. By the early 1990s, numismatic sales had become one of its primary revenue streams, with themed commemorative issues targeting the collector market directly.
The X# prefix in the reference places this squarely in the "Unusual World Coins" category — not legal tender by any conventional standard, but catalogued nonetheless.
