著名的加拿大野生动物艺术家罗伯特·贝特曼（Robert Bateman）的作品降落在加拿大皇家造币厂的最新硬币上。

Bateman, 94, is known for his realistic paintings of animals and nature, and one of his works, Mustang Country, has been reimagined for a fine silver coin by the mint.

现年94岁的贝特曼（Bateman）以他对动物和自然的现实画而闻名，他的作品之一是野马国家（Mustang Country），已被造币厂重新构想为精美的银币。

“Few images are more evocative of wide-open spaces, and of unbridled freedom, as that of mustang herds roaming the prairie landscape,” reads the mint’s website.

薄荷网站上写道：“很少有图像更令人回味地宽阔的空间和无限自由的图像，因为野马牛群漫游了草原景观。”

The scene is “poignantly captured” by Bateman’s painting, which depicts a stallion leading a herd down for a morning drink, according to Art Country Canada.

据加拿大艺术乡村（Art Country Country）称，贝特曼（Bateman）的绘画被贝特曼（Bateman）的绘画“刺耳”。

The mint says the larger-than-average coin, which also includes the words “CANADA 2025,” showcases Bateman’s photo-realistic details on the reverse side, now with a “bright lustre” thanks to the polished 99.99 per cent pure silver.

造币厂说，比平均水平较大的硬币还包括“加拿大2025”一词，这是贝特曼在反向方面的照片真实细节，现在借着“明亮的光泽”，这要归功于抛光的99.99％的纯银。

The work shows the herd at a slough, where one is reflected in the water.

这项工作显示了牛群，在水中反射的牛群。

The coin adds a “luminous quality to the water’s reflective surface,” the mint says, allowing the art to “shine in silver.” It has a $30 face value and weighs 62 grams.

薄荷说，硬币为水的反射表面增添了“发光质量”，使艺术品可以“发光银”。它的面值为30美元，重62克。

It also has an engraved reproduction of Bateman’s autograph.

它还刻有贝特曼亲笔签名的复制品。

“Like a limited-edition print, the artist’s signature is engraved on your coin’s reverse,” the mint said. “One of Canada’s most widely recognized and honoured artists, Bateman’s art reflects his commitment to ecology and preservation.”

薄荷说：“就像限量版的印刷品一样，艺术家的签名被刻在您的硬币的倒车上。”贝特曼的艺术是加拿大最受认可和尊敬的艺术家之一，反映了他对生态和保护的承诺。”

The piece — which retails for $249.95 — comes in a black beauty box, and there’s low mintage, with just 4,000 for purchase, according to the Crown corporation.

根据皇冠公司的数据，这件作品以249.95美元的价格零售价 - 有一个黑色的美容盒，而铸币厂则只有4,000件。

Meanwhile, a rare, one-kilogram pure gold coin featuring Bateman’s Mustang Country, priced at $149,000, has sold out. There were 75 available.

The obverse side of both the silver and gold coin features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Steven Rosati, another Canadian artist.

银币和金币的正面饰面是加拿大艺术家史蒂芬·罗萨蒂（Steven Rosati）国王查尔斯三世国王的雕像。

It was back in the 1970s when Bateman’s wildlife and nature work “began to receive critical acclaim and to attract an enormous following,” reads his bio.

他的简历写道，那是在1970年代，当时贝特曼的野生动植物和自然工作“开始受到批评的好评并吸引巨大的追随者”。
