The Perth Mint introduced the Brumby in 2020 with a mintage limited to 25,000, depicting Australia's iconic wild horses and positioning it as a spiritual successor to the Mint's earlier Stock Horse coin. It's the newest of the Perth Mint's single-animal annually-changing silver coins, joining the Kookaburra (1990), Koala (2007), Wedge-Tailed Eagle (2014), Kangaroo (2016), Swan (2017), and Emu (2018) in a now-crowded lineup of Australian wildlife subjects, each with its own yearly-redesigned reverse.
Being the newest entry in the Perth Mint's wildlife lineup, the Brumby has the shortest date run of any of them, making it a more approachable complete-set project for a new buyer than the decades-deep Kookaburra. A buyer should decide whether the brumby's specific cultural significance (Australia's wild horse heritage, distinct from the native-species focus of the Kookaburra or Koala) is the draw, or whether it's simply the latest addition to a broader Perth Mint wildlife collection.
The dates serious Brumby collectors specifically chase — the rest of the run trades close to melt value.
First year of issue, limited to a mintage of 25,000 — depicting Australia's wild horses (brumbies) and positioned by the Perth Mint as a spiritual successor to its earlier Stock Horse coin, continuing the Mint's pattern of annually-changing single-animal silver releases.
