| Additional information |
Hutt River Province — the self-declared micronation founded by Leonard Casley in Western Australia in 1970 after a dispute with the state government over wheat production quotas — issued its own coinage with surprising regularity through the 1980s and 1990s. These pieces exist in a legal grey zone: never recognized as currency by Australia, but never formally prosecuted either. The "Leonard I" title Casley adopted for himself appears here in its regal form, consistent with his formal declaration of himself as Prince in 1972.
