| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold sculptural portrait of Aboriginal land rights activist Eddie Mabo in the central field, his smiling likeness rendered in high relief. To the left, the denomination 50 appears in large numerals alongside a stylised ribbon motif, while to the right a representation of the 1967 Referendum 'How to Vote' card is depicted, bearing the slogans RIGHT WRONGS WRITE and YES for ABORIGINES! repeated three times. A facsimile of Mabo's signature appears in the lower central field. The encircling legend at the top reads 1992 MABO - 25 YEARS and at the base 1967 REFERENDUM - 50 YEARS, commemorating both milestones in Australian Indigenous rights history. |
