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 Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) force's 130th anniversary. The coin features an image of a uniformed officer along side their horse, speaking with children. Today, the cavalry drills the RCMP practiced over a century ago are performed in front of audiences, and known as the Musical Ride.
