The Royal Australian Mint commemorates these iconic milestones with this 2026 50c Silver Proof Coin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wave Hill Walk-Off began in 1966 when the Gurindji people, led by Vincent Lingiari, left the Wave Hill cattle station in the Northern Territory to protest poor wages and conditions. What started as a labour dispute soon grew into a powerful call for land rights, as the Gurindji asserted their enduring connection to Country. Their determination captured national attention and reshaped Australia’s understanding of justice and\u003cbr\u003eequality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1975, Prime Minister Gough Whitlam symbolically returned Gurindji land at Wattie Creek, pouring soil into Lingiari’s hand in a moment that became an enduring image of reconciliation. This historic “hand back” helped pave the way for the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1976 — the first legislation to recognise Aboriginal land ownership.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether, these milestones reflect the courage, unity and leadership of the Gurindji people, whose legacy continues to inspire Australia’s journey toward respect and reconciliation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDenomination - 50c AUD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal content - 99.9%Ag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMass - 18.24g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter - 31.51mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish - Proof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Mintage - 6,500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaging - Coin in Presentation Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSTRICT LIMIT OF 1 PER ORDER, CUSTOMER, HOUSEHOLD ETC.
