Lindsay, Ontario issued this trade dollar in 1982 as part of the wave of municipal festival tokens that swept Canadian small towns during the late 1970s and early 1980s, typically tied to local centennial or homecoming celebrations. The Corporation of Lindsay — the town's official municipal body before its amalgamation into the City of Kawartha Lakes in 2001 — authorized the piece as a redeemable local currency among participating merchants.
Nickel steel was the standard choice for these issues precisely because it photographed well for promotional materials and resisted the wear that softer alloys suffered in active retail circulation.
