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 à Rosa Luxemburg, is highlighted on the $2 commemorative circulation coin that celebrates the 100th anniversary of his birth (1923-2023). Each Colourized Special Wrap Roll contains 25 $2 coins, all bearing a selectively coloured reverse, which captures the spirit of both the original art and the artistic genius behind it.
