Comment

National Aboriginal Peoples' Day (June 21) is an opportunity for Canada to celebrate and honour the heritage, cultural diversity and outstanding achievements of First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. It is highlighted on the reverse of the $2 2023 Commemorative Circulation Coin - Celebrating National Aboriginal Peoples' Day, whose design is reproduced on this 99.99% pure silver coin.

In a cooperative approach, the three artists - Megan Currie of English River First Nation, Myrna Pokiak (Agnaviak) of the Inuvialuit Settlement Region and Jennine Krauchi of the Red River Métis Community - combined their talents and forms of expression to create this common design, a true tribute to the cultural diversity and heritage of the Métis, Inuit and First Nations, and an invitation to celebrate National Aboriginal Peoples' Day.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design that was created by a Canadian Indigenous artist, Tim Whiteduck, to commemorate National Indigenous Peoples Day. The design depicts a stylized image of the sun, which symbolizes the passing of knowledge and traditions from one generation to the next, and is surrounded by a pattern of rays that represent the connections between the natural world and Indigenous culture. The coin's obverse features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which adds to its collectibility and historical significance.
