2023 Canadian $50 Curated Coin Collection: RCMP 150 Years 5 oz Pure Silver Coin

Commemorate the RCMP’s 150 years of service: Mark the occasion with this UHR compilation of coins from the past.

In 2023, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is commemorating 150 years of history and service, and we’re marking the occasion with this curated collection of RCMP coin designs, with some dating back to 1973.

Designed for passionate collectors and struck in Ultra High Relief (UHR), this compilation mixes numismatic and commemorative tributes from our past, and highlights RCMP anniversaries that were previously commemorated on our 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.

Six designs on one coin—it’s an RCMP retrospective in Ultra High Relief.

Design

Struck in Ultra High Relief, the reverse design is a compilation of Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)-themed “horse and rider” designs from previous coins (clockwise from top left): the 1973 commemorative silver dollar; 2013’s $10 O Canada: Royal Canadian Mounted Police; 1998’s 125ᵗʰ Anniversary of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police silver proof dollar; 2020’s $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); 2010’s 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 maple leaf pattern and the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign.
