Description
Based on its initial collector response, the 2013 “O Canada” coin series is likely to be one of the most sought after and difficult to obtain modern collections from the Royal Canadian Mint. Subscriptions for all twelve coins sold out from the Mint almost immediately, and single coins can be extremely difficult to find. This is the third coin in the new 12 coin series celebrating our national identity and featuring some of Canada’s most popular images and icons. Total mintage for each is limited to 40,000. HST/GST exempt.
This is the highest quality produced by the Royal Canadian Mint, double struck in pure silver with a near flawless matte proof finish and a weight of just over half an ounce. This item is for the one coin only, with no additional coins to follow in the subscription series.
The Design:
This coin features A Royal Canadian Mounted Police Officer on horseback wearing formal attire. Riding breeches and the wide brimmed Stetson are easily distinguishable. Across the central background a Canadian Flag flows. On the outer band features the word "CANADA," the date "2013," and the face value of "10 DOLLARS," as well as a small stylized Mountie symbol.
