Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1991 by the Hutt River, which is a small micronation located in Australia. The coin features an image of Leonard I, the founder of the Principality of Hutt River, and the U.S. MGM-52 Lance Guided Missile, which was used by the United States military during the Cold War era. The coin's unique design and limited mintage make it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
