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. One of his masterpieces,
L'Hommage a Rosa Luxemburg
, is highlighted on the commemorative circulation coin that celebrates the 100th anniversary of his birth (1923-2023). Each Colourized Special Wrap Roll contains 25 coins, all bearing a selectively coloured reverse, which captures the spirit of both the original art and the artistic genius behind it.
ABOUT THE COIN
On the coin's reverse, the inner core adapts select elements of Panel 29 of
L'Hommage a Rosa Luxemburg
by Jean Paul Riopelle, while the outer ring bears the "Riopelle100" centenary mark (courtesy of the Riopelle Foundation). The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign.
