One of Jean Paul Riopelle's (1923-2002) 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 $2 coin, bearing a selectively coloured reverse, captures the spirit of both the original art and the artistic genius behind it. The inner core adapts select elements of Panel 29 of L’Hommage à Rosa Luxemburg by Jean Paul Riopelle, while the outer ring bears the “Riopelle100” centenary mark (courtesy of the Riopelle Foundation).
