The Royal Australian Mint's 2021 Six Coin Proof Year Set commemorates the 50th Anniversary of the Australian Aboriginal Flag - a touchstone of Australia's modern history, an official Flag  of Australia and a symbol of pride and unity for the First Nations People.:

The Royal Australian Mint has released new $2 coins with colour which are in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the creation of the Aboriginal flag.

 Designed by Aboriginal Elder Harold Thomas, a Luritja man from Central Australia in 1971, its purpose was to create a symbol of unity and national identity for Aboriginal people during the land rights movement of the early 1970s. 

His design of the Aboriginal flag and its colours have deep meaning, deliberately using bright colours and a bold, simplistic motif to be eye-catching and a focal point during land rights protests. 

The flag includes three colours -

-  the yellow central circle represents the sun which is a giver of life and yellow ochre, a natural clay earth.

- the lower red horizontal field represents the red earth, and it’s the relationship to the land as well as the red ochre used in ceremonies. 

- The black horizontal field above represents the Aboriginal people. 

The Aboriginal flag was first displayed in Australia on the 12th July 1971 on National Aborigines Day, at Victoria Square in Adelaide. Shortly after that, the banner was recognised as the official flag of Australia’s First Peoples. 

Aboriginal athlete Cathy Freeman introduced the flag onto the international stage during her victory lap after winning the 200-metre race at the 1994 Commonwealth Games and again after winning the 400-metre race at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney. 

In June 1995, the Australian government proclaimed the Aboriginal flag as an official “Flag of Australia” under section 5 of the Flags Act 1953, though it is not Australia’s premier official flag. 

Two years later, its creator Harold Thomas was recognised as the author of the artistic work under the Copyright Act 1968. 

In many cities in Australia, the Aboriginal flag unofficially flies next to the national flag on and in front of government buildings and a suggestion has been supported by many Australians to incorporate its design on the national flag by replacing it with the Union Jack placed in the upper-left.

The Commemorative Coin:

The Royal Australian Mint's 2021 Six Coin Proof Year Set commemorates the 50th Anniversary of the Australian Aboriginal Flag - a touchstone of Australia's modern history, an official Flag of Australia and a symbol of pride and unity for the First Nations Peoples.

The Reverse of the $2 (Two Dollars) Circulation Coins includes Harold Thomas’ iconic Australian Aboriginal flag design and is strikingly represented with the black and red fields printed over a relief pattern of miniature flags. 

The peripheral inscriptions read - "ABORIGINAL AUSTRALIAN FLAG 1971" (on the upper periphery) and "ABORIGINAL AUSTRALIAN FLAG 2021" (on the lower periphery).

The centre of the Coin has been left print-free allowing the gold of the coin's alloy to shine through as a unique representation of the central yellow sun motif. 

The Obverse of the $2 (Two Dollars) Circulation Coins shows an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, designed by Jody Clark, whose initials "JC" appear on the Queen's shoulder.

The peripheral inscriptions read - "ELIZABETH II. AUSTRALIA. 2021.  2 DOLLARS".

The specifications of the Coin are:

Theme: 50th Anniversary of the Aboriginal Flag Denomination: $2 (Two Dollars); Coin Quality: Proof & Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) for collectors, Circulation coin; Mint: Royal Australian Mint; Year of issue: 2021;Mintage: Unlimited.
