About:
Wild horse
According to tradition, when soldier and pastoralist James Brumby was transferred from Sydney to Van Diemen’s Land in 1801, he was forced to release several horses into the bush. Known later as brumbies, they gave rise to Australia’s wild horses. Free, independent, and content to roam the unforgiving environment of the Australian Alps, brumbies are celebrated in art and literature, and even portrayed as symbolic of our national character.
Coloured design
The coin’s reverse portrays a coloured representation of a brumby galloping in an arid, barren landscape with spectacular forked lightning in a foreboding sky. 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.
