2 Dollars - Elizabeth II 6th Portrait - Australian Brumby - Silver Proof - High Relief

The brumby occupies an uncomfortable place in Australian policy debates — classified as a feral pest by federal environmental law, yet fiercely defended by heritage advocates, particularly in the Snowy Mountains where population culls have repeatedly triggered national controversy. The 2020 high-relief strike from Perth exploits the format's depth to render texture that flat proof dies simply cannot achieve, a technique the mint began applying more aggressively to its bullion and numismatic programs after the success of earlier high-relief sovereign issues.

The 6th portrait of Elizabeth II, by Jody Clark, had only entered Australian coinage relatively recently by this date.
