The commemorative reverse design of Canada's 1973 non-circulating legal tender (NCLT) Silver Dollar (SD) presents a North-West Mounted Police (NWMP) officer (the NWMP was a forerunner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)) on his domesticated and well-trained horse. The SD marks the 100th Anniversary of the creation of the police force that became the NWMP (and, ultimately, the RCMP).
The NWMP officer is wearing a circa 1900 uniform. The design is the work of Paul Cedarberg; it was engraved by the Mint's Patrick Brindley. The initials of each can be seen on the coin. The obverse of the coin features the Queen Elizabeth II portrait sculpted/engraved by Arnold Machin.
