Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted by the Hutt River Province, which was a small independent state established in 1970 by a farmer named Leonard Casley on his farm in Western Australia. The province was not recognized by the Australian government, but it issued its own coins, stamps, and currency. The coin , featuring a 155mm towed howitzer, was one of the many coins issued by the Hutt River Province.
