The '''[[Consular Crown]]''' was the central piece of the [[Crown Jewels of Westarctica]] owned by [[Grand Duke Travis]]. The crown was created for Travis McHenry's [[Coronation of the Consul-General|coronation as Consul-General]] of the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica]], the predecessor-state to [[Westarctica]].
The '''[[Hobbs Coast]]''' is the portion of the coast of [[Westarctica]] extending from [[Cape Burks]] to a point on the coast opposite eastern [[Dean Island]], at 74°42′S 127°05′W, or between the [[Ruppert Coast]] in the west and the [[Bakutis Coast]] in the east. It stretches from 136°50′W to 127°35′.


The crown was handcrafted by Turkish jeweler Ferhat Özyalçın at his shop in Marmaris, Turkey. He designed the crown from Travis' description after trying several drafts of pen and ink drawings. The design is meant to evoke the laurel wreath of the Roman Imperial Crown in the style worn by the Roman Emperors. A semi-circlet shape was selected rather than a full circlet to ensure proper fit as well as to emulate the crown of Julius Caesar.
The coast was discovered by the US [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] Service (1939–41) mapped by the United States Geological Survey from ground surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–65. The Hobbs Coast was named for Professor William H. Hobbs of the University of Michigan, a glaciologist specializing in polar geography and history.

The Hobbs Coast is the portion of the coast of Westarctica extending from Cape Burks to a point on the coast opposite eastern Dean Island, at 74°42′S 127°05′W, or between the Ruppert Coast in the west and the Bakutis Coast in the east. It stretches from 136°50′W to 127°35′.

The coast was discovered by the US Antarctic Service (1939–41) mapped by the United States Geological Survey from ground surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–65. The Hobbs Coast was named for Professor William H. Hobbs of the University of Michigan, a glaciologist specializing in polar geography and history.
