| Beschrijving keerzijde | Three World War II heavy bomber aircraft, consistent with the Consolidated B-24 Liberator type associated with Operation Tidal Wave, are depicted in dynamic flight across the field, with the lead aircraft prominently rendered in the upper center surrounded by clouds and bursting anti-aircraft fire below. A ring of eight-pointed stars frames the inner field along the periphery. The word 'LIBERTY' appears in the right center field, with a 'V' device and the motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' inscribed within a cartouche below it. The legend 'WORLD WAR II' arcs across the upper border, and the date '1992' is inscribed in the exergue. |

Hutt River Province — the micronation declared by Leonard Casley in Western Australia in 1970 after a dispute with the state government over wheat quotas — issued commemorative coinage through the 1980s and 1990s that circulated nowhere but sold readily to collectors. This piece marks Operation Tidal Wave, the August 1, 1943 low-level B-24 raid on the Ploiești refineries in Romania, which at the time supplied roughly a third of Germany's refined oil. The mission was a catastrophe: 53 aircraft lost, five Medals of Honor awarded — more than any single action in American military history.
