The Coin Company is proud to present the 2025 $2 Special Wrap Roll - Celebrating the Life and Art of Daphne Odjig (Non-Colourized) by the Royal Canadian Mint.
Daphne Odjig (1919-2016) was not only one of the most celebrated artists active in Canada in the 20th century, but a pathbreaking advocate for Indigenous art and culture. Her immense portfolio includes everything from minimalist fine-line sketches to massive paintings blazed with bold colour.
The recipient of some of Canada’s highest honours, and the first First Nations woman artist to be represented on a Canadian circulation coin, Daphne Odjig is honoured on all 25 coins contained in this Special Wrap Roll. Each $2 coin’s engraved reverse pays tribute to Odjig’s legacy as a creative force for change.
KEY FEATURES
- Each roll contains 25 uncirculated engraved-only (no colour) $2 coins that come rolled up in a custom paper wrap.
- Based on Odjig’s Folk Singer, the reverse design is an inspiring representation of the bold linework that characterized much of the artist’s work.
- The outer ring includes Odjig’s drawing of a fisher, as it appears above her signature on The Indian in Transition (1978), where it serves as a visual representation of her surname (the anglicized version of “Odjig” is “Fisher”).
- Each coin included in the Special Wrap Roll has a reverse and obverse design. The production process and quality assurance for uncirculated Special Wrap Rolls allows for either the reverse design on both ends, or the reverse design on one end and the obverse on the other. It is not possible for the Mint to guarantee or foresee which of the two versions will be shipped.
- Limited to 10,000 rolls. A Colourized Special Wrap Roll is also available, collect both versions!
