The Royal Australian Mint honours this historic milestone and the rich cultural heritage and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with this 2024 50c Frosted Uncirculated Coin designed by Dagoman, Wardaman, Gurindji artist Cortney Glass.
NAIDOC Week, observed annually from Sunday in July, celebrates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history, culture, and achievements. Its origins date to the 1920s, when early Indigenous rights groups began advocating for better conditions and recognition. This was followed in 1938, when Indigenous leaders organised the Day of Mourning, protesting the treatment of Indigenous Australians.
In 1957, the National Aboriginals Day Observance Committee (NADOC) was established, designating a national day for Aboriginal celebration. By 1991, it evolved into NAIDOC, inclusive of Torres Strait Islander peoples, and expanded to a week-long event.
NAIDOC Week provides an opportunity for all Australians to engage with and celebrate the world's oldest continuous living cultures. Join us in recognizing this significant occasion, symbolizing unity, resilience, and the ongoing journey towards recognition and reconciliation in Australia.
Maximum of two per household. Orders placed by Non-VIP customers while available only to VIP customers will be cancelled less merchant fees.
