2010 50c Royal Canadian Mounted Police Gold Coin

The Icon in Miniature: The 2010 RCMP Police Gold Coin

The Royal Canadian Mint’s series of fractional pure gold coins is famous worldwide for its impeccable detail and ultra-high purity. The 2010 edition, honoring the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), is a standout piece that captures one of Canada’s most enduring and recognizable symbols: the scarlet-clad Mountie on horseback. This particular coin is a testament to the skill of the Royal Canadian Mint engravers, who managed to capture such intricate detail on a coin of remarkably small size.

This 50-cent piece represents a brilliant opportunity to own a piece of Canadian heritage in the security of .9999 fine gold.

Ultra-Purity and Collectible Low Mintage

The 2010 50c RCMP coin holds significant appeal for two reasons: its exceptional metallic content and its scarcity:

• Four-Nines Gold: Struck in .9999 pure gold (24-karat), this coin guarantees the highest standard of gold quality, ensuring its intrinsic value. Despite its delicate size (just 1.27 grams), it carries the weight and trust of the Royal Canadian Mint.
• Low Mintage: With a strict Mintage Limit of only 14,000 coins worldwide, this particular issue holds the distinction of having one of the lowest mintages in the RCM’s 1/25 oz pure gold series. This reduced supply creates strong numismatic value and makes this coin highly desirable for dedicated collectors looking to complete the series or invest in rare Police Gold coins.
• Proof Finish: The coin is finished to Proof quality, featuring frosted design elements against a mirror-like field, giving the classic image exceptional definition and visual pop.

Design: The Enduring Symbol of Canadian Law

The coin's design beautifully pays homage to the Mounties:

• Reverse: Features the classic, detailed image of a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer sitting proudly atop a horse, a powerful image designed by Janet Griffin-Scott. Inscriptions confirm the purity and weight: FINE GOLD 1/25 OZ and 9999.
• Obverse: Displays the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Susanna Blunt, along with the denomination "50 CENTS" and the year "2010".

Premium Presentation for Canadian Collectors

As a premier collectible from the Royal Canadian Mint, this coin is sold in a manner that protects its Proof finish and enhances its display value:

• Sealed Protection: The Police Gold coin is securely housed in a clear acrylic capsule, protecting its finish from the environment.
• Blue Velvet Case: The encapsulated coin is presented in an attractive blue velvet clamshell case (sometimes referred to as maroon/burgundy) with an outer box or sleeve, providing an elegant backdrop and making it a ready-to-display piece of Canadian numismatic art. The original Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is included, confirming the coin’s specifications and serial number (where applicable).

This 2010 50c RCMP Police Gold Coin is a perfect investment for those seeking fractional gold with a unique Canadian theme, guaranteed purity, and excellent collector potential.
