2023 $2 SPECIAL WRAP ROLL
100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BIRTH OF JEAN PAUL RIOPELLE (NON-COLOURIZED)

One of the most globally revered Canadian artists of the 20th century, Jean Paul Riopelle (1923-2002) used his art to push boundaries and command the attention of critics and art lovers worldwide. His monumental fresco, L’Hommage à Rosa Luxemburg, is highlighted on the 2023 $2 commemorative circulation coin that celebrates the 100th anniversary of his birth (1923-2023). Each Special Wrap Roll contains 25 traditionally engraved (non-colour) $2 coins that pay homage to the Montréal-born 20th century artist.

 On each coin’s reverse, the inner core re-creates elements of Riopelle’s L’Hommage à Rosa Luxemburg, a monumental work of art distinguished by symbolic silhouettes – including the birds that are beautifully engraved on these $2 coins.
 Each Special Wrap Roll contains 25 $2 engraved-only coins. They come in a custom-designed paper wrap that complements the reverse design.
 One of the few 2023-dated circulation coins to feature the transitional effigy and be destined for general circulation.
 All 25 coins are uncirculated – they all have a newly minted quality.
 Only 10,000 rolls are available.
 Also available: a Colourized Special Wrap Roll.

*The ‘Riopelle100’ mark, created by Raphaël Melançon, appears on the coin courtesy of the Riopelle Foundation, in collaboration with which the coin was created.
