Free Shipping
Product Overview
An iconic symbol of Canada, ultra-high-relief innovative minting, and a very low mintage combine to make this one of the Royal Canadian Mint's premier offerings of 2023. Struck in five ounces of fine silver, this $50 coin marks the 150th anniversary of Royal Canadian Mounted Police with a curated retrospective combining designs from past RCMP-themed "horse and rider" commemorative coins.
The historic coin designs include (clockwise from top left): the 1973 commemorative silver dollar; the 2013 $10 O Canada: Royal Canadian Mounted Police; the 1998 125th Anniversary of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police silver proof dollar; the 2020 $5 Moments to Hold: Celebrating 100 Years of the RCMP as Canada's National Police Force (when legislation came into effect in 1920 that changed the Royal North-West Mounted Police (RNWMP) name to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police); the 2010 pure gold 50-cent (1/25 oz) RCMP coin; and at the centre, the 1973 100th Anniversary of the RCMP 25-cent circulation coin. Backed by a textured field, the designs are flanked by maple leaves and accompanied by the word "Canada," a face value of "50 dollars," and the words "150 years/ans" to mark the RCMP's 150th anniversary in 2023. The obverse features a posthumous effigy of Queen Elizabeth with the double-dates "1952–2022" representing the years of her reign.
Bonus:
You'll also receive an original 1973 RCMP proof silver dollar as an exclusive bonus with your purchase. Struck 50 years ago to mark the 100th anniversary of the RCMP, the coin features a classic Mountie-and-rider design with the double-dates "1873–1973." Also included is an original 1973 RCMP commemorative quarter.
About the RCMP:
In May of 1873, the first 150 North-West Mounted Police recruits were sent West to Manitoba, where they would begin a long legacy. In 1904, King Edward VII conferred the title of "Royal," making the force the Royal North-West Mounted Police. In 1920, the Dominion Police Force and RNWMP merged, creating the modern RCMP. Today the RCMP encompasses over 30,000 personnel including about 19,000 officers or "regular members." In addition to responding to 911 calls and basic law enforcement in many jurisdictions, the RCMP has a mandate to deal with major crime investigations, terrorism, illicit drugs, economic crimes and offences that threaten the integrity of Canada's borders.
