| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely engraved interpretation of Mustang Country, an original painting by celebrated Canadian wildlife artist Robert Bateman. The central design depicts a lead mustang stallion descending toward a prairie slough in the early morning light, with the horse's form reflected symmetrically in the calm surface of the water below, evoking the expansive grassland habitat of the American West. The composition is executed in meticulous detail, capturing the musculature and movement of the stallion as well as the textures of the surrounding landscape. The inscriptions CANADA and 2025 appear at the upper portion of the reverse field, with the denomination 2500 DOLLARS and the artist's name Robert Bateman positioned along the lower margin. |

| Additional information |
Robert Bateman's wildlife art has appeared on Canadian currency since the 1980s, but this kilogram-format commission sits at the upper limit of what the Royal Canadian Mint produces for collector issues. The RCM has used the 101.6mm kilogram gold format sparingly — typically reserving it for flagship annual releases where artistic ambition justifies the production cost.
Mustang populations in North America are a recurring subject in Bateman's catalog, rooted in decades of field observation in the American West.
