The legend 'WORLD WAR II' arcs along the upper rim, with 'LIBERTY' and 'IN GOD WE TRUST' inscribed in the right field, and the date '1992' appearing in the exergue. |

| Additional information |
Hutt River — formally the Province of Hutt River — was a self-declared micronation in Western Australia that seceded from Australia in 1970 under Leonard Casley, who styled himself Prince Leonard I. The "Alaska at War" issue belongs to a broader series of commemorative coins Hutt River produced through the late 1980s and early 1990s, using third-party minting arrangements to generate revenue through numismatic sales — the province's primary income stream. These pieces circulated nowhere and were never intended to.
