NEW RELEASE - 50c 2026 Unity: Wave Hill Walk Off 60th & Aboriginal Land Rights 50th Anniversary Silver Proof

Commemorating two defining milestones in Australia's history, the 2026 50c Unity: Wave Hill Walk Off 60th & Aboriginal Land Rights 50th Anniversary Uncirculated Coin honours the courage, resilience and leadership of the Gurindji people.

The year 2026 marks 60 years since the Wave Hill Walk-Off and 50 years since the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976. What began in 1966 as a stand against poor wages and working conditions grew into a powerful movement for justice, recognition and land rights. Led by Vincent Lingiari, the Gurindji people's determination helped reshape Australia's understanding of equality and inspired lasting legislative change.

Created in collaboration with the Gurindji people, the coin's reverse tells this remarkable story through a richly symbolic design. It features a stylised depiction of the Wave Hill Walk-Off, an artistic representation of the iconic "hand over" between Prime Minister Gough Whitlam and Vincent Lingiari, and microtext incorporating quotes from Lingiari. Hidden within the overlapping shadows is the word UNITY, representing the collective strength and determination that drove the movement.
