Horsetalk.co.nz Aust wild horses strike gold in newly minted $100 coin
Perth Mint’s $100 gold coin, the second in its Brumby series.
A gold $100 coin featuring a wild horse has been added to Perth Mint’s Australian Brumby selection.
Only 250 of the 99.99% pure gold 1oz coins have been minted and they are expected to sell out fast.
Designed by graphic artist Jennifer McKenna, the reverse side portrays the brumby as “a magnificent, unfettered beast, galloping with abandon through water”. The Perth Mint’s P mintmark, the weight, fineness, and the year 2021 also appear just under the primary design.
The Commonwealth effigy of Queen Elizabeth II created by British engraver Jody Clark is seen on the obverse along with the coins’ denomination, which is included beneath the Queen’s likeness.
