In 2006, the [[Central Bank of Westarctica]] minted a $1 WAD [[Coins of Westarctica|coin]] featuring Thurston Island. The animal on the obverse, the [[humpback whale]] was specifically requested by the Princess of Thurston and her mother to be the representative animal of their principality. | |||
They had also requested the Central Bank utilize the coat of arms of Thurston on the reverse (instead of the arms of [[Westarctica]]), but their request was refused by the [[Marquis of Williamson]], the [[Minister of the Treasury]]. | |||
