NEW RELEASE
Mountain horse
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 of his 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 are said to be descended from lost , abandoned or escaped horses that in many cases belonged to settlers like Brumby .
Free , independent , and successfully inhabiting an unforgiving environment , the brumby became an Australian icon that is seen by many as symbolic of our national character .
Struck from 1oz of 99.99 % pure gold in proof quality , this magnificent piece portrays two brumbies cantering sideby-side . As well as mountainous scenery , the design includes the inscription ‘ AUSTRALIAN BRUMBY ’.
