| Additional information |
Hutt River Province — formally the Province of Hutt River — was a self-declared micronation in Western Australia, established in 1970 when wheat farmer Leonard Casley seceded from Australia in a dispute over wheat production quotas. It issued its own currency, stamps, and passports for decades before dissolving in 2020. This piece commemorates the Japanese Ohka rocket-powered kamikaze aircraft used in the final stages of the Pacific War — an unusual subject choice for an Australian micronation coin, and one that reflects the broad, sometimes eccentric commemorative program Casley pursued throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
