1999 CANADA $2 MILLENNIUM NUNAVUT PROOF STERLING SILVER & GREEN CASE

1999 Canada $2 Millennium Nunavut Proof Sterling Silver in Green Case

Design by Inuit artist Germaine Arnaktauyok.
This coin marks the formation of Nunavut, the third Canadian territory, in 1999. The design honours an Inuit drum dance.

As a northern Canadian territory and the habitat of Canada’s Inuit population, Nunavut is significant to Canada. Over the years, it has symbolized a victory for the political as well as cultural autonomy of the indigenous people. The territory is celebrated in this sterling silver coin. Released in 1999, it comes with a reverse design that depicts the oldest and most traditional forms of Inuit music and culture: drumming. Up to this day, it remains integral in both their spiritual and social life. This $2 Millennium Nunavut Proof Sterling Silver Coin comes encapsulated in an oval-shaped clamshell case from the Royal Canadian Mint and is backed with a certificate of authenticity.
