A century ago, on 14 August 1924, the last Cobb & Co. coach concluded its final journey after a 615-kilometre trip from Surat to Yuleba in Queensland. This marked the end of an era that began in Victoria in 1853 with a vision to provide reliable and efficient coach services across the region.

Cobb & Co. coaches crisscrossed Eastern Australia, transporting passengers, freight, and mail. They were known for their tenacity, braving rough terrains and harsh weather, and they became synonymous with the Australian pioneering spirit. Typically, every 15-25 kilometres, horses would be changed to maintain the swift pace of travel.

Cobb & Co. remains an Australian folk hero, representing resilience and determination. This coin celebrates the final journey and is a testament to the enduring legacy of Cobb & Co. in Australia. It is a wonderful addition to any collection, commemorating a pivotal moment in Australia's transportation history.
