Comments

Calgary is best-known for issuing "Stampede Dollars" for its annual Calgary Stampede, but this dollar is not a Stampede Dollar. It's an unrelated issue that's not part of any series, sponsored by the Calgary Tourist and Convention Association to commemorate two events of 1975 - the centennial of the founding of Calgary, and the hosting of that year's Grey Cup game. For the 1975 Stampede Dollar, see the link below.
