A new bimetallic, face-type commemorative $2 circulation coin dedicated to the Inuit Nunangat, a geographical and cultural region that comprises the traditional territory of the Inuit people in Canada, has just been issued in Canada.
This area includes four main regions: Inuvialuit (in the Northwest Territories and Yukon), Nunavut, Nunavik (in northern Quebec) and Nunatsiavut (in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador). Inuit Nunangat is much more than a territorial demarcation; it is the ancestral home and living space of Inuit culture, language and community life, which have deep roots in these Arctic and subarctic lands.
Of the 3 million coins in the issue, 2 million are coloured. The coins are already being put into circulation throughout Canada.
Celebrating the Inuit homeland in Canada, this coin combines the art of four Inuit artists representing each of the four treaty areas of Inuit Nunangat with marine creatures they rely on for food and resources, represented by a walrus, a narwhal, two beluga whales, a seal and an Arctic char. On the outer ring, each of the four artists has designed an ulu specific to the region. A pattern used in both Inuit tattoo tradition and clothing appears between the two security elements at the base of the ring, while the inclusion of the legend “INUIT NUNANGAT” expresses the importance of this terminology in expressing Canada’s identity.
The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, designed by Steven Rosati.
