Description

Theme

Pennons flapping in the wind, hooves stepping in time with the music, and riders in the Red Serge moving in formation – this is the time-honoured tradition of the world-famous Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Musical Ride. Each public performance is a colourful sight to behold, as the troop of up to 32 riders, all regular members of Canada’s national police force, complete a series of carefully coordinated cavalry drills and choreographed manoeuvres set to music.

Design

Designed by artist Janet Griffin, your coin’s reverse pays tribute to the RCMP Musical Ride, a Canadian symbol of tradition and honour. The selectively coloured centre portion depicts the Officer in Charge atop a black Hanoverian horse and holding a sword while leading the Salute, which takes place at the beginning and end of each performance. An engraved nod to the troop’s 32 riders and their horses, the pennons atop the lance carried by each rider form a ring around the centre image, where they speak to the precision and pageantry of the RCMP Musical Ride. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
