Description
In 2023, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) celebrates its 150 years of history and service. The Royal Canadian Mint is marking the occasion on this 5 oz. 99.99% pure silver coin that features a curated collection of RCMP coin designs, with some dating back to 1973.
Designed for passionate collectors and struck in Ultra High Relief (UHR), the compilation mixes numismatic and commemorative tributes, and highlights RCMP anniversaries that were previously commemorated on Canada’s coins, including the 25-cent piece from the force’s centennial year (1973). Each of these reproduced designs is a variation of the iconic RCMP horse and rider image – the venerable “Mountie” image that is recognized worldwide.
Ultra High Relief (UHR). Six historic RCMP coin designs have been carefully reproduced on this coin’s reverse, where the ultra-high relief created a realistic, multilevel/multilayered effect.
