| Additional information |
The Australian brumby occupies an uncomfortable place in national mythology — celebrated in Banjo Paterson's 1890 poem "The Man from Snowy River" and fiercely defended by rural communities, yet classified as a pest species under federal environmental law. Culling programs in Kosciuszko National Park have triggered sustained political battles throughout the 2020s, with New South Wales legislation in 2018 formally recognizing the horses' heritage status in direct conflict with biodiversity policy.
This is Charles III's first portrait on Perth Mint bullion coinage, sculpted by Jody Clark.
