An exciting first, a pure silver salute to the RCMP. The year 2020 was a commemorative one for the Mounties: it marked 100 years since the Royal North West Mounted Police was renamed the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and took on its federal policing responsibilities. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police celebrated 150 years as Canada's national police service. To celebrate, the Royal Canadian Mint engineered a never-before-seen 3D coin shape: an RCMP hat. Beneath the gold plating on the reverse, a special frosting captures the look of the hat's felt material while brown gold plating (also a first) colours the bronze band. Under that wide brim—you'll find the RCMP motto and the RCMP rider from 2020 2 oz. bullion coin. ■ Mintage: 6,500 ■ Composition: 99.99% pure silver with gold plating ■ Weight: 46.8 g ■ Edge: Plain ■ Certificate: serialized ■ Face Value: 25 dollars ■ Finish: bristle ■ Artist: Susanna Blunt (obverse) ■ Packaging: Individually encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
