Prime Minister Seiger Sealand Arms

SLC 006

Year: 1991Metal: Antiqued silverCondition: ProofDesigner: Serge Huard ?Mint:Mintage:Diameter: 38.6 mmDenomination: $100Edge Type: reeded

The origins of this mintage date to 1978, when Sealand's then Prime Minister,Professor Alexander G Achenbach and several associates abducted Prince Roy'sson, Michael, as part of an attempted armed takeover of Sealand. Prince Roy re-took Sealand in a helicopter-led assault and imprisoned Achenbach for severalweeks. Following his release Achenbach returned to Germany and established an"exile government" which he headed as "Chairman of the Privy Council". In August1979 he retired "due to health reasons", and annointed as his successor his Ministerfor Economic Co-operation - Johannes Seiger. Seiger continues to head the rebelgovernment to the present day with the titles of "Prime Minister and Head of thePrivy Council". This coin is believed to represent, uniquely, a mintage by a rebelgroup within a new country project.
