Generally speaking, Brumbies are said to have originated from domesticated horses that were released into the wild on purpose or that were lost by or escaped from early European settlers to the continent. The horses that make up the modern population of Brumbies are believed to have come from old breeds such as the British Pony, Timor Pony, and Belgian Draught Horses. The modern population of these feral horse breeds is estimated to be around 400,000 horses.

Obverse

On the obverse side of the 2020 Proof Australian Brumby 2 oz Silver Coin, you will find a right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This bust of Her Majesty was created in 2015 by Jody Clark for the Royal Mint of England. It has been on British coins as the fifth-generation bust of the Queen since 2016, while this same effigy serves as the sixth-generation effigy of the Queen on Australian coins and debuted in 2018. Inscriptions on this side of the coin include Elizabeth II, Australia, and 2 Dollars.

Reverse

The reverse face of the 2020 Proof Australian Brumby Silver Coins includes the image of one of the powerful beasts running freely on the Australian continent. The powerful frame of the Brumby is on full display as it runs through a shallow body of water kicking up small splashes of water as it does so. The inscriptions on this face of the coin include Australian Brumby, 2020 2 oz 9999 Silver, and the P mint mark of the Perth Mint.

History

Brumbies are widely accepted to have started when James Brumby released his horses into the wild upon being ordered to move from Sydney in 1801. While the specific origin of the horses, in particular, has been questioned over the centuries, so too has the name. Though most believe Brumbies come from James Brumby, there is evidence to suggest it could come from either an Aboriginal word baroomby which means wild or from the Irish word bromaigh.

Ordering
