Celebrate Inuit Nunangat with a Special Wrap Roll of selectively coloured $2 coins.

Representing a first for a Canadian circulation coin, the reverse design of the $2 Celebrating Inuit Nunangat commemorative circulation coin was created jointly by four Inuit artists, each representing one of the four treaty areas of Inuit Nunangat (ᐃᓄᐃᑦ ᓄᓇᖓᑦ): Nunatsiavut (ᓄᓇᑦᓯᐊᕗᑦ), Nunavik (ᓄᓇᕕᒃ), Nunavut (ᓄᓇᕗᑦ) and the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ᐃᓄᕕᐊᓗᐃᑦ ᓄᓇᖓ).

Working closely with the Royal Canadian Mint and Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK) in real time to create a seamless piece of art, these four artistic voices have come together to express both Inuit unity and regional diversity on the coin’s reverse. Each Coloured Special Wrap Roll gives you 25 of these $2 coins, all neatly rolled up in a paper wrap and bearing the same selectively coloured design that invites all people living in Canada to celebrate the rich heritage and present-day vitality of life in Inuit Nunangat.

One roll adds 25 Celebrate Inuit Nunangat coins to your collection.

Good to know

United in celebrating Inuit Nunangat. A first for a Canadian circulation coin, the $2 Celebrating Inuit Nunangat commemorative circulation coin’s reverse design was created jointly by four Inuit artists, each representing one of the four treaty areas of Inuit Nunangat: Nunatsiavut, Nunavik, Nunavut and the Inuvialuit Settlement Region.

Highlighting Inuit unity and diversity. The $2 coin’s reverse is an expression of Inuit Nunangat, one that represents Inuit unity while also reflecting the rich cultural diversity found in the Inuit homeland in Canada – an area that encompasses 40% of Canada’s total land mass and over 70% of its coastline.

A view of the reverse design, visible on one or both ends of the roll. Each coin included in the Special Wrap Roll has a reverse and obverse design. The production process and quality assurance for uncirculated Special Wrap Rolls allows for either the reverse design on both ends or the reverse design on one end and the obverse on the other. It is not possible for the Mint to guarantee or foresee which of the two versions will be shipped.

This celebration of Inuit Nunangat coincides with several significant anniversaries for Inuit: in 2024, the 25th anniversary of the territory of Nunavut created by the Agreement signed earlier by Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated, as well as the 40th anniversary of the Inuvialuit Final Agreement, governed by the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation; and in 2025, the 50th anniversary of the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement signed by Makivvik, and the 20th anniversary of the Labrador Inuit Agreement, which created the self-governing region of Nunatsiavut in Newfoundland and Labrador.

About the design

A celebration of the Inuit homeland in Canada, this 2024 commemorative $2 coin combines the art of four Inuit artists representing each of the four treaty areas of Inuit Nunangat (ᐃᓄᐃᑦ ᓄᓇᖓᑦ): Tegan Voisey (Makkovik, Nunatsiavut), Thomassie Mangiok (Ivujivik, Nunavik), Charlotte Karetak (Arviat, Nunavut) and Mary Okheena (Ulukhaktok, Inuvialuit Settlement Region). A unifying symbol on the inner core, the sea spirit Nuliajuk (ᓄᓕᐊᔪᒃ) is an ancient story shared, with regional variations, by Inuit communities across Inuit Nunangat; she is connected to Inuit through her bond with the sea creatures that Inuit depend on for food and resources, represented by a walrus, narwhal, two beluga whales, a seal and Arctic char. On the outer ring, each of the four artists has designed a regionally specific ulu (ᐅᓗ). A pattern used both in the tradition of Inuit tattooing and on clothing appears between the two security features at the base of the ring, while the inclusion of “INUIT NUNANGAT” expresses the importance of this terminology in the expression of Canada’s identity. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
