附加信息

Historical Context:This 1992 five-dollar coin from the Principality of Hutt River, under Prince Leonard I, is a distinctive numismatic artifact. Declaring independence from Australia in 1970, Prince Leonard I frequently issued coinage to assert sovereignty. This "Leonard I Releasing the Atomic Bomb - Enola Gay Mission" issue is profoundly unusual, juxtaposing the micronation's identity with a pivotal, controversial 20th-century military action. It offers a unique, provocative interpretation from a non-state entity, characteristic of Hutt River's self-styled numismatic narrative.

Artistry:The design reflects a modern, illustrative style common for privately commissioned commemorative issues, prioritizing direct visual communication. An engraver is unrecorded; the aesthetic is functional. The obverse features a left-facing effigy of Prince Leonard I, encircled by the principality's name and denomination
