The brumby occupies an awkward place in Australian policy — officially a feral pest responsible for significant alpine ecosystem damage, particularly in Kosciuszko National Park, yet fiercely defended by rural communities and romanticized in folklore stretching back to Banjo Paterson. The New South Wales government's culling programs have generated sustained political controversy, which lends the subject an edge that the Perth Mint almost certainly did not intend to invoke.
The 6th portrait of Elizabeth II, by Jody Clark, was introduced in 2015 and would appear on Australian coinage through her death in September 2022 — making late issues like this one among the final Australian gold coins struck under that effigy.
