Free-roaming horses

Mobs of brumbies that famously roam the Australian Alps are often descended from lost, abandoned or escaped horses that in many cases belonged to early colonial settlers. Free, independent, and naturally adapted to its rugged environment, the brumby holds a special place in the hearts of many Australians. 

High relief design

The coin’s high relief design portrays two brumbies cantering side-by-side with mountainous scenery in the background. The coin’s inscriptions include ‘AUSTRALIAN BRUMBY’, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
