Celebrating The Life And Art Of Daphne Odjig $2 Cupronickel 2025 Collector Card

The Celebrating The Life And Art Of Daphne Odjig $2 Cupronickel 2025 Collector Card complements the circulation release by the Royal Canadian Mint honoring artist Daphne Odjig (1919–2016). Housed in a sleek black sleeve, the set includes two $2 cupronickel coins (nickel-plated steel outer ring, brass-plated aluminum bronze core) along with an illustrated card featuring Odjig’s portrait and a concise biography. This blend of numismatic quality and educational content makes it a memorable tribute to her artistic legacy.

Reverse displays a motif from Odjig’s renowned “Folk Singer” piece, showcasing her bold lines and geometric shapes. The outer ring is inscribed with “DAPHNE ODJIG” and the year “2025,” while the center features a stylized fisher silhouette – a nod to her anglicized surname. The contrast between mirrored fields and satin-finished relief accentuates the depth of the engraving.

Obverse designed by Steven Rosati portrays King Charles III with the legend “CAROLUS III DEI GRATIA REX.” Beneath it are the denomination “2 DOLLARS” and the RCM mint mark, with interrupted serrations on the edge. Measuring 28 mm in diameter and weighing 6.99 g, the coins meet circulation standards while offering collectible appeal.

The Collector Card is issued in a limited mintage of 50,000, each accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. It offers collectors and enthusiasts of Indigenous Canadian art a unique fusion of culture, history, and numismatic excellence.
