2024 PerthMint Australian Brumby 1oz Silver Bullion Coin.
The PerthMint Brumby Silver coin series is a highly popular, and this 2024 Brumby silver coin marks the first-ever release of King head for the Brumby series.
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.
Product Details:
According to tradition, in 1801, soldier and pastoralist James Brumby had to release several horses into the bush when he was transferred from Sydney to Van Diemen’s Land. These horses, known initially as Brumby’s horses, later became known as ‘brumbies,’ referring to wild horses.
Today, mobs of brumbies, especially those roaming the Australian Alps, are believed to be descended from these lost, abandoned, or escaped horses, many of which originally belonged to early British settlers like Brumby.
The brumby, thriving in the harsh environment, has become a national icon, symbolizing the spirit of freedom and resilience that many associate with the Australian character.
