| Additional information |
Hutt River Province declared secession from Australia in 1970 after a dispute over wheat production quotas — Leonard Casley, who styled himself Prince Leonard I, exploited a legal ambiguity in Western Australian law to avoid annexation for decades. The micronation issued coins, stamps, and passports with genuine bureaucratic consistency, and X-catalog pieces like this one circulated internally and sold as novelties to tourists visiting the compound near Northampton.
McGraw is a separate honorific identity Casley adopted within the province's self-constructed peerage system.
