1967 Edson, Alberta, Centennial Souvenir Dollar Trade Token

Located in central Alberta at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, Edson sprang to prosperity when it became the local rail centre. Its position between the mountains, the McLeod River, and two national parks make it uniquely picturesque.

In 1967, Edson, like many Canadian towns and cities, celebrated Canada's Centennial with a series of special events. Edson minted these souvenir trade tokens, worth one dollar, as part of their festivities.
