| Additional information |
Hutt River Province declared independence from Western Australia in 1970 after Leonard Casley, a wheat farmer, disputed state acreage restrictions that threatened his livelihood. The resulting micronation issued its own stamps, passports, and coinage for decades — none of it legal tender anywhere, but produced with enough institutional seriousness to attract a genuine collector following. Casley styled himself Prince Leonard I, later adding noble titles for family members, which is precisely why this coin names both a regnal title and a personal name.
The X# prefix in the World Coin catalog designates non-circulating or fantasy issues — Hutt River pieces occupy that taxonomy squarely.
