Struck by the Royal Australian Mint, this coin honours the 50th anniversary of NAIDOC (the National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee) being formed entirely of Indigenous peoples. Tracing its origins to Aboriginal groups in the 1920s that sought to raise awareness regarding the treatment of Indigenous Australians, NAIDOC oversees NAIDOC Week – a celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history, culture and achievements.
