A century later the RCMP had grown into the country's most recognisable institution, and the Mint marked the anniversary with the first Canadian silver dollar to carry a Mountie. Struck at the tail end of the 50%-silver dollar era, which ran from 1971 to 1976, it remains one of the most collected Canadian commemoratives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Love This One\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Mountie on horseback is about as Canadian as a coin design gets, and this one still sits in its original black case.
