| Reverse description | The obverse of the Torres Strait Islander Flag is depicted in full colour at centre, featuring its three horizontal bands: green representing the land, blue representing the sea, and black representing the Torres Strait Islander peoples. Superimposed at the centre is a white Dhari (traditional headdress), and a white five-pointed star beneath it symbolises the five island groups and unity among the people. The design commemorates the 30th anniversary of the flag's adoption in 1995. The legend TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER FLAG arcs along the upper field, with the commemorative dates 1995 - 2025 inscribed below. |

| Additional information |
The Torres Strait Islander Flag was designed by Bernard Namok, a Thursday Island teenager, and adopted in 1992 following a competition organised by the Islander community — making it one of the few national symbols in Australian history created entirely from within the community it represents. The 30th anniversary fell in 2022, making this 2025 release a belated commemoration rather than a precise milestone issue.
Worth noting: the listed composition is that of the standard circulation $2 alloy, which almost certainly reflects a data error — the "Silver Proof" designation is incompatible with those base-metal percentages.
