| Additional information |
Hutt River Province — it didn't become a "Principality" until 2006 — was the micronation declared by wheat farmer Leonard Casley in 1970 after a dispute with the Western Australian government over wheat quotas. Casley styled himself Prince Leonard I and, citing an obscure technicality in British constitutional law, maintained the secession claim for five decades. Coins like this one were legal tender within the province by its own declaration, though no external authority ever recognized them as such. The territory was formally dissolved in 2020 by Casley's son, ending fifty years of eccentric sovereignty.
