Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Australian Aboriginal Flag, this 2021 $2 coloured coin celebrates one of Australia’s most powerful symbols of identity, pride, and unity. Originally released by the Royal Australian Mint in special collector rolls, each coin has been carefully taken ex mint roll and placed in a NextGen Collectors Coin Capsule for premium presentation and long-term preservation.
The coin features Harold Thomas’ iconic Aboriginal Flag design — the yellow sun of life, framed by black and red fields representing the Aboriginal people and the earth. This design honours its first unfurling at Adelaide’s Victoria Square in 1971 and its enduring role as a national emblem.
With a limited mintage, this release marks a historic milestone in Australian numismatic and cultural heritage, celebrating a flag that continues to inspire unity and respect across the nation.
