Hutt River Province — formally the Principality of Hutt River — was a self-declared micronation in Western Australia founded by Leonard Casley in 1970 after a dispute with the state government over wheat production quotas. Casley styled himself Prince Leonard I and maintained the secession claim until the province dissolved in 2020. These coins were produced as legal tender within the principality's own framework, though no external government recognized that status.
