Condition: This item appears to be in proof condition, featuring frosted devices against highly reflective, mirror-like fields. There is noticeable toning or environmental oxidation along the rims, particularly visible on the right side of the obverse and the left side of the reverse. The fields show some minor surface marks or hairlines consistent with handling outside of a protective capsule. The strike is sharp and well-defined. This coin is issued by the Hutt River Province, a former micronation in Australia, and was struck at the New Queensland Mint. The metal content is confirmed as one ounce of .999 fine silver as indicated on the reverse. Historically, this piece commemorates the 1991 Desert Storm conflict, featuring military personnel and a desert vehicle. The strike type is a proof, characterized by the deep contrast between the polished fields and the matte relief. No formal third-party grading is present, though it is housed in a temporary flip.
