Cała seria została opisana przez Larry'ego Gingrasa, Medals, Tokens and Paper Money of the Hudson's Bay Company, opublikowane przez Canadian Numismatic Research Society, 1975, s. 92 (ten jest nr 285c):

"Jednym z powodów wprowadzenia tych aluminiowych żetonów uniface w 1946 r. było zapoznanie Eskimosów z naszym systemem dziesiętnym. Uznano to za konieczne, ponieważ podczas drugiej wojny światowej ruch w Arktyce i poza nią znacznie wzrósł i wszystko wskazywało na to, że będzie tak nadal. [...] Do 1962 r. żetony spełniły swoje zadanie i zostały wycofane, z wyjątkiem kilku odizolowanych posterunków".

The whole series is described by Larry Gingras, Medals, Tokens and Paper Money of the Hudson's Bay Company, published by the Canadian Numismatic Research Society, 1975, p. 92 (this one being no. 285c):

"One of the reasons for introducing these uniface aluminum tokens in 1946 was to familiarize the Eskimo with our decimal system. This was felt necessary because during the second World War traffic in and out of the Arctic had increased a great deal and there was every indication it would continue to do so. [...] By 1962 the tokens had served their purpose and were discontinued except at a few isolated posts."
