Marking a century since the Royal North West Mounted Police became the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, this extraordinary 2020 release celebrates one of Canada’s most recognisable national symbols — the Mountie’s wide-brimmed hat.
Crafted from pure silver and plated in gold, this innovative 3D coin recreates the RCMP’s classic Stetson with remarkable realism. The Royal Canadian Mint achieved a world-first feat of minting engineering — replicating the hat’s felt texture through special frosting and adding a brown gold-plated bronze band, another minting first.
Flip the coin and you’ll find hidden details that pay homage to the RCMP’s storied history, including the motto “MAINTIENS LE DROIT” (“Defending the Law”) and the miniature RCMP rider from the Mint’s 2020 bullion coin.
Limited to just 6,500 pieces worldwide, this coin is more than a collectible — it’s a salute to service, history, and innovation.
