Sealand has minted coins intermittently
since the early 1970s, although as with
the Principality's stamps, few details are SLC 002
readily available, and it does not appear
that any have been released in recent Year: 1975
years. The unit of currency is the Sealand Metal: Silver

SLC 003B is differentiated from SLC 003C by the presence on the former of the 925
inscription (referring to the coin's silver composition) directly below the shield on the
reverse. It is unclear if the historical stated mintage of 25 pieces for the unreeded edge
variety of the 1977 Princess Joan $10 coin is for both varieties, or for each of them.

Sealand Arms

The origins of this mintage date to 1978, when Sealand's then Prime Minister,
Professor Alexander G Achenbach and several associates abducted Prince Roy's
son, Michael, as part of an attempted armed takeover of Sealand. Prince Roy re-
took Sealand in a helicopter-led assault and imprisoned Achenbach for several
weeks. Following his release Achenbach returned to Germany and established an
"exile government" which he headed as "Chairman of the Privy Council". In August
1979 he retired "due to health reasons", and annointed as his successor his Minister
for Economic Co-operation - Johannes Seiger. Seiger continues to head the rebel
government to the present day with the titles of "Prime Minister and Head of the
Privy Council". This coin is believed to represent, uniquely, a mintage by a rebel
group within a new country project.

SLC 007A differs from SLC 007B in metal composition, and in the format of the
serial number inscribed on the panel beneath the Sealand Arms, which is numeric,
and consists of four digits.

SLC 007B differs from SLC 007A in respect of metal composition and the format of
its inscribed serial number, which is alpha-numeric, consisting of the letters AG
followed by three digits. The latter, along with a visible difference in the quality of the
reflective recessed areas of the design also differentiates it from SLC 007C.

SLC 007C represents a special mintage of 500 pieces that was authorised by Prince
Roy for sale at the inaugural West Coast Expo, in the US state of California. This
variety is identifiable by its unique alpha-numeric serial number format - which
commences with the letters WCE followed by three digits - and a visibly less
lustrous finish on the recessed areas of the design.

SLC 008D is the only known Sealand error coin. It was allegedly created when a
number of coins with a trial scalloped edge were minted, and then somehow became
mixed with a regular reeded edge batch. The coin is otherwise identical to SLC
008A.
