ROYAL CANADIAN MINT CELEBRATES THE PEOPLE, TRADITIONS AND LANDS OF INUIT NUNANGAT ON A NEW $2 COMMEMORATIVE CIRCULATION COIN
OTTAWA, ON, Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Royal Canadian Mint is issuing a new $2 commemorative circulation coin as an invitation to all people living in Canada to celebrate Inuit Nunangat. This coin is also an invitation to learn more about the distinct ways of life and culture of Inuit thriving in this vast northern homeland. In a first for a Canadian circulation coin, four different artists, each representing one of the four regions of Inuit Nunangat, have collaborated on designing its reverse. On the coin, Inuit unity is symbolized through the four artists’ joint representation of the story of Nuliajuk, spirit of the sea, and through an ulu representing each of their homes within the Inuit homeland. This coin will begin circulating as of today.
“Nuliajuk’s story is one of the most important in Inuit culture, and we are excited that she will now be honored in Canadian currency, the way we have honored her in our hearts and imaginations since time immemorial. Congratulations on a beautiful design by Mary Okheena, Charlotte Karetak, Thomassie Mangiok, and Tegan Voisey. We are also proud of this work in partnership with the Royal Canadian Mint, who have collaborated with Inuit on this project in a genuine and respectful manner,” said Natan Obed, President of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami.
“Walking the path of reconciliation includes honouring the rich cultural contributions of Indigenous Peoples,” said the Honourable Chrystia Freeland, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance. “Inuit have called the North home for time immemorial, and it is fitting that the toonie—whose iconic polar bear has long spotlighted the Arctic—will now share the vibrant Inuit culture and distinct ways of life in Inuit Nunangat with all Canadians.”
The artwork appearing on the reverse of the 2024 $2 circulation coin celebrating Inuit Nunangat (ᐃᓄᐃᑦ ᓄᓇᖓᑦ) is the creation of Tegan Voisey (Makkovik, Nunatsiavut), Thomassie Mangiok (Ivujivik, Nunavik), Charlotte Karetak (Arviat, Nunavut) and Mary Okheena (Ulukhaktok, Inuvialuit Settlement Region). The inner core of the coin features an image of Nuliajuk, spirit of the sea, wearing an atigi (parka), and clockwise from Nuliajuk are a walrus, two beluga whales, a seal, and an arctic char. On the right of the outer ring appear four different artistic interpretations of uluit (knives), whose appearance is derived from the traditional shape for uluit found in each region, and that act as each of the artist’s signatures. The inscription “Inuit Nunangat” appears on the left. The coin’s obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
More information on the meaning of these designs and the story of Inuit Nunangat can be found at www.mint.ca/IN.
“We are thankful to have been given the opportunity to work with Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami and four talented Inuit artists to celebrate Inuit Nunangat on a new circulation coin,” said Marie Lemay, President and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint. “Collaborating with the communities to tell their story is how we at the Royal Canadian Mint seek to engage all people living in Canada, and we are pleased to share Inuit stories far and wide by celebrating Inuit Nunangat in this way.”
Limited to a mintage of three million coins, of which two million will be coloured, this new $2 circulation coin will begin circulating on November 7. It will reach Canadians through their change as bank branches and businesses replenish their inventories of $2 coins.
The coloured and uncoloured circulation coin are also available in 15,000 coloured and 10,000 uncoloured limited-edition special wrap rolls of 25 uncirculated coins each, retailing for $79.95 CAD.
These collectibles can be ordered as of today by contacting the Mint at 1-800-267-1871 in Canada, 1-800-268-6468 in the US, or online at www.mint.ca.They are also available at the Royal Canadian Mint’s Winnipeg boutique, as well as through the Mint’s global network of dealers and distributors, including participating Canada Post outlets.
