| Additional information |
Saint-Roch-de-l'Achigan, a small municipality in the Lanaudière region northeast of Montreal, was founded in 1787, making 1987 its two-hundredth anniversary. The coin was issued as part of Canada's ongoing municipal and provincial commemorative dollar program, which the Royal Canadian Mint used throughout the 1980s to produce limited-run pieces for regional anniversaries — a program that generated dozens of issues across the decade, most in very modest quantities destined almost entirely for local collectors and ceremonial presentation rather than general circulation.
