2 Dollars Daphne Odjig, colourized

Daphne Odjig (1919–2016) was the first Indigenous woman to have work acquired by the National Gallery of Canada, and one of the founders of the Professional Native Indian Artists Incorporation — known informally as the "Indian Group of Seven" — established in Winnipeg in 1973. The Royal Canadian Mint's colourized toonie program has become its primary vehicle for acknowledging figures the standard circulation series cannot accommodate, and Odjig is a fitting subject for a format that rewards visual boldness.
