The Royal Canadian Mint has unveiled a brand new five-dollar coin featuring florals and a hexagonal holographic honeybee. The 2023 $5 Fine Silver Coin Filigree Bee incorporated vibrant colours and a holographic gold feature in order to "see the world through a bee's eyes," the Royal Canadian Mint said on its website.
The Royal Canadian Mint has rolled out a brand new $2 coin in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Canadian artist Jean Paul Riopelle. The $2 colourized special wrap roll features two geese from one of Riopelle's masterpieces, L’Hommage à Rosa Luxemburg. Each colourized special wrap roll contains 25 $2 coins, all of which bear a selectively coloured reverse, which per the Royal Canadian Mint, "captures the spirit of both the original art and the artistic genius behind it."
