| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a detailed relief of a U.S. Army AH-64 Apache attack helicopter in flight, dominating the upper central field, with a ring of five-pointed stars encircling the composition along the inner border. In the lower field, outlines of military vessels including an aircraft carrier and warships are rendered in fine detail, evoking an Operation Desert Storm naval scene. The legend 'DESERT STORM' arcs prominently across the upper field, flanked by stars, while 'IN GOD WE TRUST' appears to the left and 'LIBERTY' to the lower right of the field. The date '1991' is inscribed in the exergue along the lower rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hutt River — formally the Province of Hutt River — was an unrecognized micronation in Western Australia that declared independence from Australia in 1970, founded by farmer Leonard Casley after a dispute over wheat quotas. By the early 1990s, it had developed a cottage industry issuing numismatic pieces aimed squarely at collectors rather than circulation, with military hardware a recurring theme. The AH-64 Apache was entering widespread U.S. Army service at exactly this moment, fresh from proving itself in Operation Desert Storm earlier in 1991.
Gold-clad issues of this type were common to Hutt River's output — the flash of gold over a base core kept costs manageable while sustaining premium retail pricing.
