Obverse

The obverse of the 2023 Proof Australian Brumby Silver Coins features a profile portrait of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. This distinct design, created by Jody Clark in 2015, captures the Queen at the age of 89. It represents the sixth effigy used on Australian coins during her reign and includes the 70-year date range of her reign as a tribute to Her Late Majesty. The inscriptions here include ELIZABETH II, 1952-2022, AUSTRALIA, and 2 DOLLARS.

Reverse

On the reverse side of the 2023 Proof Brumby 2 oz Silver Coins, you’ll discover a captivating depiction of two brumbies in their natural Australian habitat. The presence of brumbies in Australia is a subject of debate, with some considering them an integral part of the nation’s heritage, while others view them as invasive pests that pose ecological challenges by overgrazing, trampling, and competing with native wildlife for resources. Inscriptions read AUSTRALIAN BRUMBY, 2023 2 OZ 9999 SILVER, and the P mint mark.

History

There are ongoing efforts to manage brumby populations, which often involve culling or relocation to reduce their impact on fragile ecosystems. These efforts aim to strike a balance between conservation and the preservation of cultural and historical significance.
