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

加拿大皇家造币厂推出了一枚新硬币，其中包括卑诗省的一位艺术家罗伯特·贝特曼（Robert Bateman）最具标志性的作品。

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

新的两盎司高级银币描绘了贝特曼的野马国家，这是加拿大最知名的艺术品之一。

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.

硬币上的场景设置在Prarie Grasslands中，并显示了野马牛群的铅种马在泥浆中享用早晨的饮料，在泥浆中反射在静水体内。

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.

除了刻有野马国家的雕刻作品外，硬币还包括文字“加拿大2025”，“ 30美元”的面额和雕刻的贝特曼签名复制品。

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

尽管硬币的面值为30美元，但它以249.95加元的价格在皇家加拿大薄荷网站上出售。

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

现年94岁的贝特曼（Bateman）仍然居住，并在盐泉岛（Salt Spring Island）绘画。

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

艺术家是一个狂热的环保主义者，只想让每个人都像他一样与自然联系。

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

贝特曼（Bateman）的画作说：“我对人类遗产的兴趣只有我对自然遗产的终生迷恋才能超越。”

“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.”

“野马的历史可以追溯到向北美引入马的西班牙征服者的时代。诸如黑脚和苏克斯之类的大平原的第一民族使用这些早期马匹完全改变了他们的生活方式。现在，他们可以使用这些动物狩猎野牛，去战争Path或使用这些动物移动社区。铁路和欧洲定居者永远结束了这个世界。”

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.

他补充说，仍然存在着居住在北美偏远地区的第一个原始野马的残余人群，但是现在那些荒野的腰围正受到人口和发展的扩大的威胁。

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

硬币的“头”一侧显示了由加拿大艺术家史蒂芬·罗萨蒂（Steven Rosati）设计的je下查尔斯三世（Charles III）的雕像。
