2014 1 oz Silver Australian Stock Horse BU Coin (No COA)
There are many unique animal species that inhabit the continent of Australia, and while some were there naturally, others were the result of mankind’s need for strong animals to tame the vast expanses of the country. The Stock Horse is the perfect example of human intervention resulting in an animal that has become an icon in the Outback. Today, the 2014 1 oz Silver Australian Stock Horse Coin is available on Sillysilverstacker.com
Coin Highlights:
From the moment you hear the name Stock Horse, you probably don’t think of a creature all-too majestic or different from the average horse. You can imagine any horse you’ve seen yourself or those in movies and assume the Stock Horse fits the bill.
In reality, the Stock Horse is an animal that grew into its own species over the course of Australian history. A rugged and unforgiving continent, the early explorers and settlers of Australia needed a horse equally rugged to help conquer its vast expanses. The Australian Stock Horse is a breed known for its stamina and strength, and was bred through a combination of Thoroughbred and Arab horses, as well as Timor and Welsh Mountain ponies.
The 2014 1 oz Silver Australian Stock Horse Coin is the second in a planned series of 10 designs, with a new release each year, all of which feature the Stock Horse in different poses. This year’s design is known as the Galloping Horse, with Rearing Horse launching the series in 2013, and subsequent designs including the Leaping Horse (2015) and Grazing Horse (2016)
