A unique tribute to two landmark moments in the course of Australian history, the Royal Australian Mint has just unveiled the Wave Hill Walk Off 60th Anniversary & Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 50th Anniversary 2026 50c Cupro-Nickel Uncirculated Coin!
After decades of exploitation, approximately 200 Gurindji stockmen, domestic staff and their families walked off the Wave Hill cattle station in the Northern Territory in August 1966 to protest poor pay and living conditions. Led by Vincent Lingiari, the battle gained national prominence, evolving from a labour dispute into a landmark campaign for Indigenous land rights.
The campaign ultimately inspired one of the most iconic moments and most iconic images in the process of reconciliation – the pouring of soil by Prime Minister Gough Whitlam into the hand of Vincent Lingiari, symbolising the return of Gurindji land. The courage, unity and leadership of Vincent Lingiari and the Gurindji people reshaped Australia’s perception of equality and justice, and their battle also provided the spark leading to the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 – the first legislation to acknowledge Aboriginal land ownership.
Bearing a stylised portrayal of the Wave Hill Walk Off, and depicting the handover between Gough Whitlam and Vincent Lingiari, this deeply poignant coin is sure to be targeted by those seeking a permanent keepsake of key events in Australia’s ongoing process of reconciliation. In addition, it’s a must-have for serious collectors. Although this unique, one-year-only type will be issued for circulation, and although you may find it in change, you will not find it in the pristine, original condition presented here. Straight from the Mint to you, this key coin is presented in strictly Uncirculated condition.
