DID YOU KNOW?

Mustangs are descended from horses brought to North America from Spain – in fact, “mustang” is derived from the Spanish words mestengo/mesteño, meaning “masterless (stray) animal.”

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 “2500 DOLLARS” and an engraved reproduction of the artist’s signature. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
