2025 30th Anniversary of the Torres Strait Island Flag Silver Proof Coin

2025 marks the thirtieth anniversary of the Torres Strait Islander Flag being officially proclaimed as a Flag of Australia.

Designed by the late Bernard Namok in 1992, the flag holds deep cultural and historical significance for Torres Strait Islander people.

Its elements reflect their identity: green for land, blue for sea and black for the people. While the traditional Dhari headdress and the five-pointed star as the centre of the flag symbolise cultural heritage and the island groups. Officially recognised in 1995, the flag has become a powerful symbol of pride, unity and resilience.

The Royal Australian Mint commemorates this significant anniversary with the release of this stunning 2025 $2 ‘C’ Mintmark Coloured Fine Silver Proof Coin, which celebrates the enduring legacy of the flag and honours the rich traditions, history and contributions of Torres Strait Islander communities across Australia.

Each coin is struck by the Royal Australian Mint from 11.66g of 99.9% pure silver and is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.

The Royal Australian Mint will release no more than 7,500 of the 2025 $2 30th Anniversary of the Torres Strait Island Flag Silver Proof Coin.
