The campaign ultimately inspired one of the most iconic moments 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 to the Gurindji people. The courage, unity and leadership of Vincent Lingiari and the Gurindji people reshaped Australia’s perception of equality and justice, and their battle also proved the catalyst for the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 – the first legislation to recognise Aboriginal land ownership.

A deeply poignant commemorative, this 99.9% silver bears a stylised depiction of the Wave Hill Walk Off, united with a portrayal of the iconic handover between Gough Whitlam and Vincent Lingiari. An official Australian legal tender issue, the portrait of King Charles III is found upon the obverse. Beautifully presented within an official RAM case, complete with a Certificate of Authenticity, the mintage of this important coin is a mere 6,500.
