The '''[[Coins of Westarctica]]''' are a collection of commemorative coins minted by the [[Central Bank of Westarctica]] on behalf of the [[Micronations|micronation]] of [[Westarctica]]. Starting in 2005, Westarctica minted 31 unique coins released in 14 different series, each commemorating a different element of Westarctican culture, history, or geography.
The '''[[Colony of Calsahara|Westarctican Colony of Calsaraha]]''' is a dependent colony of [[Westarctica]] located entirely within the U.S. state of California near the unincorporated community of California Valley on the [[Carrizio Plain]]. Calsahara was founded by [[Grand Duke Travis|Travis McHenry]] on 24 November 2009, and existed as an independent sovereign state until it was conquered without resistance during the [[Invasion of Calsahara]] by the [[Westarctican Royal Guards]] on 29 October 2017.


The [[Balleny Islands]] coins were the first coins minted by the Central Bank, they were released in early 2005, shortly after the creation of the bank itself. The obverse of the coin shows Westarctica's original [[Coat of Arms of Westarctica|coat of arms]] as designed by [[Duke of Moulton-Berlin|Jon-Lawrence Langer]]. The creation of coins by the Central Bank ceased in 2013; however, both [[Grand Duke Travis]] and the former [[Minister of the Treasury]], [[Duke of Sherman|Jorge Fernandez-Vidal]], have expressed interest in resuming production of coins.
When it was turned into a colony, Grand Duke Travis declared the entire territory to be a gift to the people and nobles of Westarctica. A half-acre of the nation was designated as the [[Colonial Estates]]. The estates are each 10 feet by 10 feet plots of land that have been given to Westarctica's [[Hereditary Nobility of Westarctica|Hereditary Nobles]]. Possessing Manorial Rights gives the holder the right to be known as Lord/Lady of the Manor.
