Celebrating the Life and Art of DAPHNE ODJIG

Art as a force for change!

Discover the uniqueness of our 2025 tribute to Daphne Odjig, available in two captivating versions in one convenient collectible.

The recipient of some of Canada’s highest honours, and the first First Nations woman artist to be represented on a Canadian circulation coin, Daphne Odjig and her art are honoured on the 2025 $2 commemorative coin that pays tribute to her legacy—as a creative force for change.

Special features:

Exceptional art, exceptional artist. The $2 commemorative circulation coin is a tribute to one of the most significant artists in Canada's 20th century: Daphne Odjig. Her vibrant works and advocacy have elevated Indigenous art to the level of other fine arts, making her a truly exceptional figure.

A first for a Canadian circulation coin. This is the first circulation coin to focus on the life and work of a First Nations woman artist.
Painting a story. The $2 coin’s reverse design is based on Odjig’s Folk Singer, brought to life by a selective application of colour on this colourized coin. It is an inspiring representation of the bold line and colour work that characterized much of her work.

Seller’s Comments: I’ve taken thousands of pictures of items I sell on eBay- once again, my inability to take a good picture of this artist’s work is an insult to her. I apologize to her spirit, who lives on, and those who love her work. I’ve followed her work for decades and was saddened when she passed away in 2016. As a Metis Canadian, taking a proper picture of Ms. Odjig’s masterpiece is like taking a picture of the Mona Lisa; I honestly don’t think I can ever do it justice. Above you will see my horrible photographs and the studio shots the Royal Canadian Mint took, which did the pictures some justice.
