Lot #35: 1973 RCMP Silver Coin

This 1973 Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Centennial Silver Dollar is a premier commemorative piece issued by the Royal Canadian Mint to mark the 100th anniversary of the founding of the North West Mounted Police. Struck in 50% fine silver with a total weight of 23.3 grams, the coin features a striking reverse design by Paul Cedarberg depicting a Mountie atop a horse. The obverse showcases the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, and as a "Specimen" strike, the coin exhibits a brilliant image relief against a matte background for maximum visual impact. Often found with a beautiful natural toning due to its silver content, this heirloom-quality coin serves as both a significant historical memento and a staple for any serious collector of Canadian numismatics.
