| Reverse description | Central design featuring an Inuit drummer rendered in the style of a silk-screen print, occupying the inner aluminium bronze core of the bimetallic flan. The surrounding nickel ring bears the territorial name 'NUNAVUT' inscribed twice — once in the Latin alphabet and once in Inuktitut syllabics (ᓄᓇᕗᑦ) — commemorating the creation of Canada's newest territory on April 1, 1999. The inscription 'CANADA' and the denomination '2 DOLLARS' appear within the legend, with the engraver's initials 'G.A.' present in the field. The overall design integrates Indigenous script and artistic tradition in a manner unique among Canadian circulation coinage. |
