Description
A salute to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and its 150 years of service!
This year (2023) marks the 150th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), an integral part of Canada’s story since 1873. Since its storied beginnings as the North-West Mount Police (NWMP), Canada’s national police service has grown, modernized and endeavoured to become a more inclusive and diverse organization, which is reflected on this commemorative 99.99% pure silver coin from the Royal Canadian Mint.
A colourful tribute to the RCMP on its 150 years of service. The coin’s reverse combines a colour-over-relief portrait of a Mountie – a globally recognized symbol of Canada, of law and order – with an engraved mountain backdrop that speaks to the RCMP’s beginnings.
