| Additional information |
Hutt River — officially the Province of Hutt River — was a micronation in Western Australia that declared independence from Australia in 1970, primarily over a wheat quota dispute. Leonard Casley, who styled himself Prince Leonard I, issued coins intermittently through the 1980s and 1990s as a mix of sovereignty assertion and tourist revenue. This piece honoring Shoeless Joe Jackson reflects a broader trend in Hutt River coinage: licensing recognizable figures with no particular connection to the issuer, aimed squarely at the collector market rather than any pretense of circulation.
