Product Overview

This stunning full three-dimensional RCMP Musical Ride coin is one of the most revolutionary series ever issued by the Royal Canadian Mint. Since the first coins of the world were struck more than 2,500 years ago, coin designs have been confined to two-dimensional coin blanks and the limited relief of traditional minting. The Royal Canadian Mint brings the RCMP rider and horse to life with a full three-dimensional sculpture rising up from the surface of the coin. The coin has a $100 face value and weighs just over 10 ounces of pure silver, and is further enhanced by an overlay of 24-karat gold. In addition to its artistic beauty, its collectability is heightened by a low limited mintage of just 1,000 pieces.

The reverse design is a 3D take on the iconic uniform and the thoroughbred's musculature as they perform one of the choreographed routines that have made the RCMP Musical Ride world famous. The RCMP Musical Ride is a world-famous troop of 32 uniformed riders that perform cavalry drills choreographed to music. Its origins can be traced back to the early days of the North West Mounted Police when members entertained themselves between drills by competing and performing feats. From May to October, the RCMP Musical Ride usually travels to more than 50 communities across Canada to perform and help raise funds for local charities and organizations.

The coin design features a raised terrain with a sandy texture, complete with scattered hoof prints. This serves as a pedestal for the horse and rider, all overlaid with 24-karat gold. This is set above a brilliant silver coin element featuring the words "Canada," "2020," "100 dollars" and "Royal Canadian Mounted Police" around the outer rim. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.  

The coin comes presented on a round wooden pedestal and protected by a domed cover that allows the coin to be proudly displayed as a work of art.
