Comment
British Columbia gold Token 1924 G&L-500. Full golden brilliance for this example of a popular and highly sought after item.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was designed in honour of British Columbia being admitted into the Canadian Confederation in 1871. The coin's reverse side features an image of a native chief and a servant paddling a canoe, symbolizing the province's rich history and connections with Indigenous peoples. With a legal tender value of $1, it was intended to commemorate the event and promote tourism in the region.
