Interesting fact
The Hutt River 5 Dollars - Leonard I (Capture of Cherbourg) 1992 coin is a non-circulating coin made of Nickel silver. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued by the Hutt River Province, a small micronation located in Western Australia, which declared independence from Australia in 1970. The coin was minted to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the capture of Cherbourg, a town in Normandy, France, during World War II. The coin features an image of Leonard I, the founder of the Hutt River Province, on one side, and a depiction of the capture of Cherbourg on the other. Despite its small size and limited recognition, the Hutt River Province has issued a number of coins and stamps over the years, making it a unique and interesting collectible for numismatists and philatelists.
