Comment

The Montana Territorial Centennial Commission was created as a special department of the Montana state government by the legislature in 1961 for "the sole purpose of providing a dignified, significant celebration during the full year of 1964 commemorating creation of the territory as well as honoring 75 years of statehood by and for the people of Montana. This is the token to celebrate that event. This was a several year undertaking with many events held in celebration of the anniversaries.
