Part of a series of 25 coins depicting famous baseball playersInteresting fact
The Hutt River 5 Dollar coin featuring Leonard I (Tommy McCarthy) from 1993 is a unique collector's item, as it was issued by the Hutt River Province, a small micronation located in Australia. The coin's design features a portrait of Leonard I, the founder and first prince of the Hutt River Province, on one side, and the Hutt River Province's coat of arms on the other. The coin is made of copper-nickel and weighs 25.1 grams. It is considered a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation but rather for collectors and numismatists.
