Interesting fact

The Hutt River 10 Dollars - Leonard I (Battle of Leyte Gulf) 1995 coin is a non-circulating commemorative coin issued by the Hutt River Province, a small independent state located in Australia. The coin is made of brass and features an image of Leonard I, the founder of the Hutt River Province, on one side, and a depiction of the Battle of Leyte Gulf on the other. The coin was issued in 1995 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Leyte Gulf, which took place during World War II. It's interesting to note that the Hutt River Province is a small, independent state that was established in 1970 by a farmer named Leonard Casley, who declared his farm to be an independent state in protest of the Australian government's agricultural policies. Despite not being recognized by any country or international organization, the Hutt River Province has issued its own currency, stamps, and coins, and has a small population of residents who consider themselves citizens of the province.
