Comments

Ten dolar handlowy został wyprodukowany z okazji corocznego festiwalu Klondike Days w Edmonton w Albercie. "Klondike Dollars" były wybijane co roku przez kilka dekad, z maskotką festiwalu "Klondike Mike" na rewersie i innym wzorem awersu każdego roku. Były one warte 1 dolara na czas trwania festiwalu, ale obecnie wszystkie straciły ważność.

Zostały one wybite z czterema różnymi "znakami menniczymi", dzięki czemu osoby chcące skompletować swoją kolekcję musiałyby znaleźć wszystkie cztery różne typy. Znak mennicy można zobaczyć po prawej stronie Klondike Mike.

Chociaż ten dolar nie mówi o tym wyraźnie, 12. Letnie Igrzyska Uniwersyteckie w 1983 roku odbyły się w Edmonton, stąd upamiętnienie.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

This trade dollar was made for the annual Klondike Days festival in Edmonton, Alberta. "Klondike Dollars" were struck every year for some decades, with the festival mascot "Klondike Mike" on the reverse and a different obverse design every year. They would be worth $1 for the duration of the festival, but they are now all expired.

These were struck with four different "mint-marks" so that completionists would have to track down all four different types to finish their collection. The mint-mark can be seen to the right of Klondike Mike.

Although this dollar doesn't explicitly say so, the 12th Summer University Games in 1983 were held in Edmonton, hence the commemoration.
