Product Overview
This $75 14K gold Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games coin depicts a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on horseback.
Originally dispatched in the 19th century to patrol the western frontier, the scarlet-clad Mountie on horseback has become one of the most enduring images of Canada. Today, the cavalry drills they practiced over a century ago continue to delight audiences everywhere; the Musical Ride is a cornerstone of Canada's cultural heritage and national identity.
The motto of the Olympics is "citius, altius, fortius" (faster, higher, stronger), and these three words encourage the athlete in all of us to give our best during competition, and to view this effort as its own victory.
