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.
