2025 Folk Singer by Daphne Odjig Numismatic Uncirculated Keepsake Set featuring Two Different $2 Commemorative Coins

Celebrate Canadian arts with this collector keepsake set featuring two different versions of the 2025 two-dollar commemorative coin paying tribute to the life and legacy of Daphne Odjig. 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. A self-taught artist, her immense portfolio includes everything from minimalist fine-line sketches to massive paintings blazed with bold colour.

The presentation booklet provides information about the life and art of Daphne Odjic, and houses both a coloured version of the tribute coin and a second coin with classic engraving only. The coin design is based on her 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 ring 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.
