2025 Celebrating the Life and Art of Daphne Odjig: Commemorative Collector Keepsake Card of Colourized and non-colourized $2 Toonies

2025 Celebrating the Life and Art of Daphne Odjig: Commemorative Collector Keepsake Card of Colourized and non-colourized $2 Toonies. 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 and her art are honoured on the 2025 $2 commemorative coin that pays tribute to her legacy—as a creative force for change. There are two versions of the $2 Celebrating the Life and Art of Daphne Odjig, and this affordably priced, two-coin Commemorative Collector Keepsake Card guarantees you’ll have both versions!

• Exceptional art, exceptional artist. The $2 commemorative circulation coin honours one of the most important artists active in Canada in the 20th century: Daphne Odjig, who, through her colourful works and advocacy, worked to put Indigenous art on an equal footing with other fine arts.
• New format. Redesigned in 2024 to keep the focus on the commemorative theme, each Commemorative Collector Keepsake Card contains two (2) uncirculated coins: a colourized $2 Celebrating the Life and Art of Daphne Odjig coin, and a non-colourized one.
• Affordably priced. Your two coins come in a colourful folder that presents and explains the theme.
• A first for a Canadian circulation coin. This is the first circulation coin to focus on the life and work of a First Nations woman artist.
• Painting a story. The $2 coin’s reverse design is based on Odjig’s Folk Singer, brought to life by a selective application of colour on the colourized coin. It is an inspiring representation of the bold line and colour work that characterized much of her work.
• Limited supply. A total of 50,000 keepsake cards are available worldwide.
