Theme

Few images are more evocative of wide-open spaces, and of unbridled freedom, as that of mustang herds roaming the prairie landscape. This is the scene so poignantly captured by celebrated wildlife artist Robert Bateman in Mustang Country, reimagined here in 99.99% pure silver. As with other Robert Bateman originals, Mustang Country treats both its subject and the grasslands with equal reverence; the same can be said for our engraved rendition, which pays tribute to the artist’s photo-realistic details while adding a bright silver lustre to the water’s reflective surface.

Design

The coin’s reverse features an engraved rendering of Mustang Country, an original painting by renowned Canadian wildlife artist Robert Bateman. Set in the prairie grasslands, the scene shows the lead stallion of the mustang herd going down for a morning drink at a slough, where the horse is reflected in the still body of water. The reverse includes the text “CANADA 2025”, the denomination of “30 DOLLARS” and an engraved reproduction of the artist’s signature.
