Wild spirit

Brumby is the term for Australia’s wild horse. Brumbies that most famously roam the Australian Alps are descended from lost, abandoned or escaped horses that in many cases belonged to early colonial settlers like James Brumby. Free-roaming, independent and naturally adapted to its rugged environment, the brumby has become a national icon seen by many as symbolic of our national character.

Brumby design

The coin portrays a brumby galloping in an arid, barren landscape with spectacular forked lightning overhead. The design includes the inscription ‘AUSTRALIAN BRUMBY’, the coin’s weight, fineness, and year-date, and a ‘P125’ mintmark signifying The Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary.

Note: multiple coins available so serial numbers will vary
