Hutt River Province declared independence from Western Australia in 1970 after a wheat quota dispute, and its founder Leonard Casley — self-styled Prince Leonard I — spent the following decades issuing an increasingly elaborate series of coins, stamps, and passports to assert sovereign legitimacy. By 1991, the commemorative program had expanded into military fantasy pieces with no connection to any actual armed force. The "U.S. Tiger Anti-tank Brigade" has no documented military unit behind it.
Struck in nickel silver by a private mint, this is collector fodder, not circulating coinage.
