This Keepsake Card is an invitation to learn, celebrate and honour.
In celebration of National Indigenous Peoples Day, the 2023 commemorative $2 circulation coin combines the art of Megan Currie, English River First Nation, Myrna Pokiak (Agnaviak), Inuvialuit Settlement Region and Jennine Krauchi, Red River M tis.. Their joint creation stunningly combines their expressions of First Nations, Inuit, and M tis cultures, art and traditions and is an open invitation to celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day. You'll find two of these commemorative $2 circulation coins - one with colour and one without - inside each Commemorative Collector Keepsake Card, where the coins appear alongside the artists' words about their art and personal connection to National Indigenous Peoples Day.
About the $2, $1, 25 ¢, 10 ¢ and 5 ¢ coins included in this Commemorative Collector Keepsake Card: As we focus our attention on commemorating the reign of Queen Elizabeth II (1952-2022), the Royal Canadian Mint will not be issuing 2023-dated Canadian circulation coins featuring both the traditional reverse designs and an obverse featuring Queen Elizabeth II. Instead, we are offering a collector's edition of these annual issues that have been struck in limited numbers. These are non-circulation coins, meaning they are legal tender but not intended for general circulation. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign.
One Keepsake Card gives you two commemorative $2 circulation coins - one with colour and one without.
Free standard shipping in Canada only.
