Comments

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.
