| Additional information |
The Klondike strike of August 1896 — credited to Skookum Jim Mason, Dawson Charlie, and George Carmack on Rabbit Creek — triggered one of the last great gold rushes in North American history. By 1898, Dawson City had swelled from nothing to roughly 40,000 people, most of whom arrived too late to claim productive ground. The creek beds that made a handful of men genuinely wealthy were largely staked within weeks of the original discovery.
The colored variant of this loonie was issued as a collector piece rather than for circulation, a distinction the RCM has applied routinely to its commemorative dollar program since the early 2000s.
