Product Description

  • To recognise 2019 as the International Year of Indigenous Languages, the Royal Australia Mint has issued a Fine Silver Proof 50 cent coin in collaboration with the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies(AIATSIS). This coin acknowledges Australia's unique Indigenous languages, and the efforts being undertaken to preserve these important parts of Australian Indigenous culture.

Languages are crucial to the identity of Indigenous Australians as well as being an important part of Australia's history and culture.
  • The coin samples the diversity of existing Indigenous languages in Australia, recognising the importance of protecting these languages for all Australians
