Design: The coin features a portrait of a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer on horseback. The Red Serge regalia—the RCMP’s formal attire—is presented in exceptional detail. The officer’s Sam Browne belt and white lanyard are visible along with various badges and decorations on her upper right sleeve and lapel. Her broad-brimmed Stetson hat is worn low, and on her legs she wears the Mounties’ traditional riding breeches with their distinctive yellow side stripe. Included in your coin’s design is the special “MP” monogrammed “numnah” or saddle blanket. In the lower third of the background we see the stylized outline of the RCMP’s original territory: the Canadian prairies. A large Canadian flag flows across the central and upper background of the image. Framing the image is a polished outer band engraved with the word “CANADA,” the date “2013” and the face value of “10 DOLLARS,” as well as a small stylized Mountie symbol.

Packaging: Coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint branded maroon case lined with flock. It is protected by a custom box.
