2025 $2 Special Wrap Roll Celebrating the Life and Art of Daphne Odjig (classic engraved version, 25 coins per roll)

This 2025 $2 commemorative coin celebrates the Life and Art of Daphne Odjig. The special collector-issue wrapped roll contains 25 brilliant uncirculated commemorative two-dollar coins, all with a classic engraved (no colour) centre design.

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. Enhanced with colour, each coin's reverse pays tribute to her legacy as a creative force for change.

The design is based on Odjig's painting Folk Singer. Enhanced with selective colour on the colourized coin, the centre features a cropped view of the female figure holding a drum, while the outer rim bears an engraved reproduction of the artist's drawing of a fisher (the anglicized version of "Odjig" is "Fisher"), as it appears above Odjig's signature on her 1978 masterpiece The Indian in Transition, which hangs in the Canadian Museum of History. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
