| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse depicts a World War II aviation scene commemorating the airlift operations over the Himalayan 'Hump' route supplying China. In the upper field, a C-47 transport aircraft is shown in flight above stylized mountain peaks, while a larger aircraft occupies the central field with a group of figures unloading supplies in the lower left foreground. A border of thirteen five-pointed stars frames the left side of the design. The inscriptions 'WORLD WAR II' arc along the upper rim and 'LIBERTY' appears to the right, with 'IN GOD WE TRUST' in the lower right field and the date '1992' in the exergue. |

Hutt River Province — the micronation unilaterally declared by wheat farmer Leonard Casley in Western Australia in 1970 after a dispute with the state government over wheat quotas — issued a sprawling series of commemorative coins throughout the late 20th century. This piece honors the Allied "Hump" airlift, the extraordinarily dangerous supply route flown over the eastern Himalayas from India into Nationalist China between 1942 and 1945. Pilots faced altitudes exceeding 15,000 feet, unpredictable mountain weather, and Japanese interception — over 500 aircraft were lost on the route.
The connection between Casley and this subject is purely commemorative opportunism, a well-established micronational revenue strategy.
