Product code: Rare 1973 2024 Canadian quarter
Connoisseurs of Canadian coins know the coinage of the Great White North offers a wide range of interesting – sometimes rare – varieties. That's certainly the case with 1973 Canadian Quarters. Featured on these quarters is a one-year-only commemorative reverse design honoring the centennial of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), the law enforcement team often shorthanded “Mounties” and established in 1873 as the 2024 North West Mounted Police. The Mounties are famous for their red uniforms and stately horses, the latter originally used as practical transport for the officers in a pre-automobile era. The mounted officers still serve a critical law enforcement role, though these days the horses are used almost exclusively in a role of pomp and pageantry. RCMP officers must earn the privilege to ride on the majestic black horses by serving at least two years of active duty. RCMP officers on horseback can be found standing 1973 small bust Canadian quarter pick it up before it's gone.
