To mark a century and a half of excellence at Canada’s oldest military university, the Royal Canadian Mint unveiled a finely crafted silver collector coin commemorating the 150ᵗʰ anniversary of the Royal Military College of Canada (RMC). Founded in Kingston, Ontario, in 1876, RMC has built an international reputation for excellence in education, training, and research, as well as for the lasting contributions of its graduates to the Canadian Armed Forces and public life. The 2026 $20 Fine Silver Coin - 150ᵗʰ Anniversary of the Royal Military College of Canada was celebrated today at a ceremony held on campus, attended by students, staff, faculty, alumni and members of the RMC community.
"Graduates from RMC, Royal Roads Military College, and the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean have served with distinction in every conflict and peacekeeping operations Canada has been involved in, as well as during times of national crisis or disaster,” said Brig.-Gen. Pascal Godbout, 49ᵗʰ Commandant of the Royal Military College of Canada. “This milestone is an opportunity to reflect on RMC’s contributions to Canada and the world, and to celebrate its evolution as a strong, proud, equitable, diverse, and inclusive national institution, where we strive to instill the Canadian Armed Forces ethos and values to the next generation of leaders. I am deeply thankful for the generations of faculty and staff who have contributed to the education, support, and success of our graduates throughout their time here and beyond."
