Story

Mountain 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 of his animals into the bush. Known as Brumby’s horses and later as ‘brumbies’, the word came to mean wild horses. Free, independent, and successfully inhabiting an unforgiving environment, the brumby became an Australian icon that is seen by many as symbolic of our national character.

Cantering brumby design

The coin portrays two brumbies cantering side-by-side with mountainous scenery in the background. 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.
