Harold Thomas and Royal Australian Mint

Coin’s reverse features a striking representation of Luritja and Wombai artist, Harold Thomas’ iconic flag design, with the black and red fields printed over a relief pattern of miniature flags.

Coin’s obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II designed by Jody Clark.

The Royal Australian Mint created a 2021 $2 Coloured Circulating Coin to mark 50 years since the first raising of the Aboriginal Flag in 1971. The Australian Aboriginal Flag is both an iconic symbol of pride and strength for Indigenous Australians, as well as being an official Flag of Australia. Harold Thomas’ iconic flag design is strikingly represented on the coin with the black and red fields printed over a relief pattern of miniature flags. 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.
