1994 Manitoulin Island, ON, Centennial Manor Gold-Plated Haweater $2 Token

Located on the north end of Lake Huron, Manitoulin is the world's largest lake island -- large enough, in fact, that it has over 100 lakes of its own. "Haweater" is an affectionate nickname for those born on the island, referring to the prevalence of the hawberries that islanders have long eaten to survive. This gold-plated 1994 token spotlights Manitoulin Centennial Manor, a long-term care facility for the elderly. The reverse shows the outline of Manitoulin island, with a deer, tipi, and fisherman.
