2024 $1 Australian Brumby 1oz Coloured Silver Bullion Coin

The Coin Company is proud to present 2024 $1 Australian Brumby 1oz Coloured Silver Bullion Coin produced by The Perth Mint.

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 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.

Free, independent, and successfully inhabiting an unforgiving environment, the brumby has become a national icon seen by many as symbolic of our national character.

The coin’s reverse portrays a coloured 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.

The coin’s obverse bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, and the monetary denomination.

2024 $1 Australian Brumby 1oz Coloured Silver Bullion Coin has a limited mintage of 1500 coins.
