That legacy is embodied by more than 26,000 graduates who have risen to the highest levels of service in Canada’s armed forces, public institutions, and beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nAs RMC marks its 150ᵗʰ anniversary and looks to the future, this 99.99% pure silver coin pays homage to a national institution and its enduring contributions to Canada and the world. From defending the nation to exploring new frontiers—including the stars—RMC continues to inspire the next generation of leaders to serve with integrity, courage, and vision.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cb\u003eHonouring 150 years of leadership in service to Canada.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nOn the coin’s reverse, the image of the Canadian flag is used symbolically: its design was inspired by the RMC flag and first proposed by Dr. George Stanley, then Dean of Arts at RMC, linking the College directly to the creation of Canada’s most recognized symbol. On both flags, the red-and-white stripes were inspired by the Canadian General Service Medal (1866-1870).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nMarking the 150ᵗʰ anniversary (“1876-2026”) of the Royal Military College of Canada, the reverse design by artist Neil Hamelin features the National Flag of Canada flying over the iconic RMC clock tower, accompanied by the RMC flag’s banner and motto, “TRUTH DUTY VALOUR”. The five stars represent former RMC cadets who went on to become Canadian Space Agency astronauts—Navy Capt. Marc Garneau, Col. Chris Hadfield, Maj. Michael McKay, Col. Jeremy Hansen and Col. Joshua Kutryk—while also symbolizing the collective achievements of all RMC graduates, whose contributions to Canada continue to extend far beyond the horizon. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecifications: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRCM Number: 255611 \u003cbr\u003e\nMintage: 6,500 \u003cbr\u003e\nComposition: 99.99% pure silver \u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 31.39 g \u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter: 38 mm \u003cbr\u003e\nFace Value: $10 \u003cbr\u003e\nFinish: Proof \u003cbr\u003e\nEdge: Serrated \u003cbr\u003e\nArtist: Neil Hamelin (reverse), Steven Rosati (obverse) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nSpecial Features \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA national institution turns 150.\u003c\/b\u003e Celebrate 150 years of the Royal Military College of Canada (RMC), a national institution that strives to instill the Canadian Armed Forces ethos and values to the next generation of leaders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStoried past, bright future.\u003c\/b\u003e From the flag to the stars representing astronaut alumni—the symbolic elements on your coin’s reverse honour RMC’s 150-year legacy and role in shaping Canada’s story, both military and civic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eProud legacy.\u003c\/b\u003e This 1 oz. 99.99% pure silver coin speaks to pride in the remarkable achievements of RMC graduates across all fields, and throughout the military university’s 150-year history.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eInspired by the RMC flag.\u003c\/b\u003e The banner with the motto “TRUTH DUTY VALOUR” is based on the RMC flag, which was also the inspiration for the National Flag of Canada.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSpecial anniversary keepsake.\u003c\/b\u003e A great anniversary keepsake for RMC students, alumni, faculty, staff and supporters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA limited collectible.\u003c\/b\u003e Only 6,500 coins are available worldwide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eNo GST\/HST.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPackaging: \nThe coin is encapsulated and presented in a black Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.","brand":"Colonial Acres Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52791189700897,"sku":"255611","price":239.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/1744\/7457\/files\/255611.jpg?v=1780926161","url":"https:\/\/www.colonialacres.com\/products\/2026-20-150th-anniversary-of-the-royal-military-college-of-canada","provider":"Colonial Acres Coins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
