| Beschrijving voorzijde | Octagonal aluminium token struck for emergency circulation by the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Corporation. The central field bears a large raised numeral '1' denoting the one-cent denomination. Encircling the numeral, within a beaded inner border, runs the legend 'GOOD FOR ONE CENT IN TRADE' arranged along the upper periphery, with the issuer's abbreviation '·ARRC·' displayed at the base. The design is utilitarian in character, with no pictorial effigy, the plain recessed field showing the characteristic flow lines typical of aluminium coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Corporation was a New Deal agency established to resettle struggling Midwestern farm families — primarily from the Matanuska Valley colonization project of 1935, which transplanted roughly 200 families from Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan to Alaska under federal supervision. The ARRC issued its own scrip coinage because colonists were paid in project credits rather than U.S. currency, redeemable only at the corporation's commissary. Aluminium was chosen deliberately to keep intrinsic value near zero, discouraging hoarding in a closed economy where liquidity control was the entire point.
