The Perth Mint produced, LPM exclusive silver coin series featuring the Australian Brumby horse, is back for a third release. The main attraction will be the popular bullion coin, of course, but we’ll cover that in our bullion round-up on Friday (I’d hoped to have it out yesterday, but one of the coins is still under embargo). Here we have the prettier numismatic version – a two-ounce proof.

The design of the 2022 coin is top-notch, in our view, with a very dynamic and rarely seen pose for the horse, which is firmly rooted in a grass covered ground, not floating in mid-coin. The mint is calling it the ‘Spirited Horse’, which is apt enough. These images aren’t the best, unfortunately, but it’s obviously a nice piece by artist Jennifer McKenna. Indeed, we like this series as a whole, and it’s been a good spiritual successor to the earlier Australian Stock Horse series.

Being a proof coin, it comes in the mint’s very nice acrylic-lidded display boxes, and a themed shipper, along with a Certificate of Authenticity. Much rarer than the bullion variant, of course, the mintage is capped at 1,000 pieces, and it’s available from LPM, and stockists around the world.
