Celebrating 30 Years of the Torres Strait Islander Flag with a Stunning $2 Commemorative Coin

In 2025, the Royal Australian Mint proudly commemorates a significant milestone in Australian history—the 30th anniversary of the Torres Strait Islander Flag’s official proclamation as a Flag of Australia. To mark this occasion, a limited-edition $2 coloured uncirculated coin has been released, honouring the cultural legacy, resilience, and identity of the Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Honouring Culture Through Coin Design

Originally designed in 1992 by the late Bernard Namok, the Torres Strait Islander Flag is a symbol of unity, strength, and cultural pride. Its iconic elements—green for land, blue for sea, black for the people, the distinctive white Dhari (headdress), and a five-pointed white star—have become a powerful representation of the Torres Strait Islander communities and their deep-rooted traditions.

Officially recognised as a national flag in 1995, the flag continues to stand as a proud symbol of First Nations identity and sovereignty.
