Aussies will be able to get their hands on the 2024 50 cent Coloured Frosted NAIDOC Week this week. Just 50,000 of the coins, which were designed by Dagoman, Wardaman, Gurindji artist Cortney Glass, have been minted.

“Fifty years of NAIDOC being coordinated by an all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Committee is significant in the recognition and empowerment of Indigenous people to control the messages, through the themes we want Australia to focus on and learn about through our directions,” Riley said.

“五十年来，NAIDOC 由所有原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民委员会进行协调，这对于承认原住民并赋予其权力来控制信息具有重要意义，通过我们希望澳大利亚关注的主题并通过我们的指示了解这些主题，”赖利说。

“The coin image selected by Cortney epitomises what NAIDOC is about, through the listing of all the themes from 1972, surrounded by artwork which emphasises culture as our foundation for who we are; and the ongoing struggles in fighting for Indigenous rights and that this is done in solidarity.”

“Cortney 选择的硬币图像集中体现了 NAIDOC 的内涵，通过列出 1972 年以来的所有主题，周围的艺术品强调文化是我们的基础；以及为原住民权利而进行的持续斗争，这是团结一致完成的。”

NAIDOC Week is observed annually from the first Sunday of July. It celebrates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history, culture and achievements.

NAIDOC 周每年从 7 月的第一个星期日开始举行。它庆祝原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民的历史、文化和成就。
