The Royal Canadian Mint has unveiled a new coin featuring one of BC-based artist Robert Bateman’s most iconic works.

加拿大皇家造幣廠推出了一枚新硬幣，其中包括卑詩省的一位藝術家羅伯特·貝特曼（Robert Bateman）最具標誌性的作品。

The new two-ounce fine silver coin depicts Bateman’s Mustang Country, which is among the most recognizable Canadian artworks.

新的兩盎司高級銀幣描繪了貝特曼的野馬國家，這是加拿大最知名的藝術品之一。

The scene on the coin is set in the prarie grasslands and shows the lead stallion of the mustang herd going for a morning drink at a slough, where it is reflected in the still body of water.

硬幣上的場景設置在Prarie Grasslands中，並顯示了野馬牛群的鉛種馬在泥漿中享用早晨的飲料，在泥漿中反射在靜水體內。

Along with the engraved rendition of Mustang Country, the coin includes the text “CANADA 2025”, the denomination of “30 DOLLARS” and an engraved reproduction of Bateman’s signature.

除了刻有野馬國家的雕刻作品外，硬幣還包括文字“加拿大2025”，“ 30美元”的面額和雕刻的貝特曼簽名複製品。

Although the coin’s face value is $30, it is being sold on the Royal Canadian Mint website for $249.95.

儘管硬幣的面值為30美元，但它以249.95加元的價格在皇家加拿大薄荷網站上出售。

Bateman, now 94-years-old, still resides and paints on Salt Spring Island.

現年94歲的貝特曼（Bateman）仍然居住，並在鹽泉島（Salt Spring Island）繪畫。

The artist is an avid environmentalist and wants nothing more than for everybody to feel connected to nature the way he is.

藝術家是一個狂熱的環保主義者，只想讓每個人都像他一樣與自然聯繫。

“My interest in human heritage is only surpassed by my lifelong fascination with natural heritage,” said Bateman of his painting.

貝特曼（Bateman）的畫作說：“我對人類遺產的興趣只有我對自然遺產的終生迷戀才能超越。”

“The history of mustangs goes back to the days of the Spanish conquistadors who introduced the horse to North America. The First Nations of the Great Plains such as the Blackfoot and Sioux used these early horses to totally transform their lifestyles. They could now hunt bison, go on the warpath or move their communities using these animals. The railway and European settlers ended that world forever.”

“野馬的歷史可以追溯到向北美引入馬的西班牙征服者的時代。諸如黑腳和蘇克斯之類的大平原的第一民族使用這些早期馬匹完全改變了他們的生活方式。現在，他們可以使用這些動物狩獵野牛，去戰爭Path或使用這些動物移動社區。鐵路和歐洲定居者永遠結束了這個世界。”

He added that there are still remnant populations of those first original mustangs living in remote parts of North America, but those pockets of wildness are now being threatened by expansion of human population and development.

他補充說，仍然存在著居住在北美偏遠地區的第一個原始野馬的殘餘人群，但是現在那些荒野的腰圍正受到人口和發展的擴大的威脅。

The “heads” side of the coin shows the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, which was designed by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.

硬幣的“頭”一側顯示了由加拿大藝術家史蒂芬·羅薩蒂（Steven Rosati）設計的je下查爾斯三世（Charles III）的雕像。
