Comment
Part of a 25 coin series depicting famous baseball playersInteresting fact
The Hutt River 5 Dollar coin featuring Leonard I (John McCraw) from 1993 is interesting because it was issued by the Hutt River Province, a micronation located in Australia, which declared independence from Australia in 1970. The coin is made of copper-nickel and weighs 25.1 grams. Despite not being recognized as a sovereign state by any country, the Hutt River Province has issued its own currency, stamps, and coins, making it a unique and fascinating collectible for numismatists.
