2024 NON-COLORED "CELEBRATING INUIT NUNANGAT" 2-DOLLAR (BU)

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. The engraved design invites all people living in Canada to celebrate the rich heritage and present-day vitality of life in Inuit Nunangat.

➢ This is the first time four artists have been featured on a Canadian circulation coin. Each artist represents one of the four treaty areas of Inuit Nunangat: Tegan Voisey (Makkovik, Nunatsiavut), Thomassie Mangiok (Ivujivik, Nunavik), Charlotte Karetak (Arviat, Nunavut) and Mary Okheena (Ulukhaktok, Inuvialuit Settlement Region).
➢ The reverse design 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.
