----------------------------------------------------------------

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.

Looking ahead to 2023, the Royal Canadian Mounted

Police will be celebrating 150 years as Canada's

national police service. It's proud of its history and the

many milestones that have made the organization

what it is today!

To celebrate, the RCM 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) colors the bronze band. And take a look at

what's under that wide brim—you'll find the RCMP

motto and the RCMP rider from the 2020 2 oz. bullion

coin.

We salute Canada's national police force by introducing

another exciting first: an RCMP hat coin!

Special features:

NEW SHAPE! Introducing the very first 3D RCMP hat

coin! Designed as a replica of the RCMP uniform hat,

this 2020 salute to Canada's national police force

features a taller crown and sharper angles than the

helmet-shaped 2018 Lest We Forget coin.

AN ICONIC SYMBOL: The wide-brimmed hat is

instantly recognizable and, along with the RCMP's

famous Red Serge tunic, is a world-famous icon that

is synonymous with law and order in Canada.

FIRST-TIME USE OF BROWN GOLD: Another

first: a special brown gold surface plating technique

helps capture the look of the hat's leather band made

out of bronze.

LOOKS LIKE FELT: On the reverse, special

frosting beneath the gold plating mimics the look of

felt—just like a real RCMP hat.

A CANADIAN CELEBRATION: This coin is part

of the salute to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police

on the 100th anniversary of the merger of the Royal

North-West Mounted Police and the Dominion Police.

The merger established the RCMP as Canada's

national police service.

EXTRA NOD: On the obverse, the brim includes the

RCMP motto and the miniature image of an RCMP

rider on horseback, as seen on the Royal Canadian

Mint's 2020 2 oz. bullion coin.

A MUST HAVE FOR YOUR COLLECTION:

Whether it's for the love of a Canadian icon or minting

innovations, our latest feat of engineering is the perfect

new addition to your growing collection. It's also the

perfect gift or collectible to honor and recognize a

friend or loved one's years of service as a member of

the RCMP.

LIMITED MINTAGE: Only 6,500 of these coins are

available worldwide.

INCLUDES SERIALIZED CERTIFICATE: The

Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.

Design:

This gold-plated coin was engineered to be a pure

silver 3D replica of the Royal Canadian Mounted

Police uniform hat. The reverse is a top view of the

iconic hat and its Montana peak crown. For an added

touch of authenticity, a special frosting beneath the

gold plating on the reverse mimics the textured look

of felt while the leather band is re-created using a

brown gold surface plating technique (a first).

On the obverse, the RCMP motto "MAINTIENS LE

DROIT" (Defending the Law) is engraved on the brim

along with the commemorative dates "1920 – 2020"

to mark 100 years since the organization was renamed

the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and took on its

federal policing mandate. The obverse also includes

the word "CANADA", the face value "25 DOLLARS",

a miniature version of the RCMP rider featured on the

Royal Canadian Mint's 2020 2 oz. bullion coin (bottom),

and the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by

Susanna Blunt (top).

Did you know…

It wasn't part of the official uniform until 1904. The hat

has a wide brim that helps shield the eyes and face from

the elements, and that's why some members of the

North-West Mounted Police (a predecessor to today's

RCMP) preferred it to the standard issue pith helmet or

pillbox cap for patrol duty. Since it wasn't part of the

uniform at that time, members paid for the hats

themselves, but that changed once it was adopted as part

of the official uniform.

Packaging

The coin comes with a Royal Canadian Mint-branded

clamshell with a black beauty box.
