Interesting fact
The Leonard I coin, released in 1992, was a commemorative coin issued by the Hutt River Province, a small micronation located in Australia. The coin was minted to commemorate the historic link-up between Russian and American forces at the Elbe River in Germany during World War II. The coin's design features an image of Leonard I, the founder of the Hutt River Province, along with an image of the Elbe River and the flags of Russia and the United States. The coin was made of nickel silver, a copper-nickel-zinc alloy that is often used in the production of coins. Despite its small size and limited circulation, the Leonard I coin has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists and history enthusiasts.
