Known as Brumby’s horses and later as ‘brumbies’, the word came to mean wild horses. Mobs of brumbies that most famously roam the Australian Alps today are descended from lost, abandoned or escaped horses that in many cases belonged to early British settlers like Brumby. Wild, independent, and successfully inhabiting a hostile environment, the brumby has become a national icon seen by many as symbolic of our national character. **Features of the coin** - First release in a new series - Low mintage of just 25,000 coins - Struck from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver and issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965. - Reverse design: portrays the brumby as a magnificent, unfettered beast, galloping with abandon through water.
