I am surprised that there has been no mention nor comment on the new Jean Paul Riopelle toonie. To my mind both the coloured and non-coloured image reverses are quite imaginative. However, they do not appear to be up to the standard of the 2023 National Indigenous Peoples Day toonie.

I like this toonie very much, especially the coloured version. Can't wait to get mine.

I had placed this post in the Canadian Commemorative and Non-Circulating Coinage (NCLT), but it has been moved by the moderator. I now see it is listed by the RCM as a circulating coin:
"Jean Paul Riopelle
Celebrate Riopelle's boundless creativity with the 2023 commemorative $2 circulation coin—an iconic tribute to an illustrious Canadian artist in honour of the 100#7511;#688; anniversary of his birth." Here is the non-coloured version:

Thanks for placing it in the correct forum.

I would like to see the original artwork, The Homage to Rosa Luxemburg, in Quebec City. It is part of a sequence of 30 paintings more than 40 meters in length!
