1978 Chatham, NB, Pioneer Dollar Token
Pioneer Dollars were commemorative trade tokens issued in celebration of Pioneer Days, a series of summer festivals popular in towns across New Brunswick. This one comes from Chatham, now a neighbourhood in Miramichi. According to local legend, Chatham was founded as a result of an 18th-century shipwreck that cast a small boat named the Chatham ashore on the Miramichi River. It was an energetic town by the mid 19th-century and was truly booming just before the First World War, but was ultimately amalgamated along with several other towns into the city of Miramichi in 1996. This Pioneer Dollar celebrates Chatham when an independent town, and proudly shows a tall ship on the reverse. The obverse shows a settler flanked by a lumber mill and a tall ship.
