Originally dispatched in the 19th century to patrol the Canadian Western frontier, the scarlet-clad Mountie-on-horseback is a well-known image of Canada. This 22-karat gold coin celebrates the 130th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). The coin features an image of a uniformed officer alongside his horse, speaking with children. Today, the cavalry drills the RCMP practiced over a century ago are performed in front of audiences and are known as the Musical Ride.
