| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field depicts a scene from the Quebecois legend 'Le cheval noir' (The Black Horse), showing a rearing horse pulling a sleigh with a figure struggling to restrain it, set against a stone building in the background. The design is signed 'N Thib. 82' in the lower field, attributing the artwork to engraver N. Thibodeau from 1982. A beaded border frames the entire design. The upper legend reads 'TROIS-PISTOLES / LES BASQUES (QUE.)' in curved Latin script, while the lower field bears the inscription 'Au pays des légendes - Le cheval noir' in script lettering. The denomination and year of validity appear along the lower rim: 'VALEUR DE 1$ EN 1993'. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Trois-Pistoles issued this dollar as part of the wave of Canadian municipal trade dollars that proliferated through the 1980s and 1990s, produced primarily to drive local commerce during summer festivals and tourist seasons. The town's name derives from a 17th-century legend involving a sailor who lost a silver cup worth three pistoles in the St. Lawrence River — a story the municipality has traded on heavily in regional promotion. These civic pieces were struck in limited runs and redeemable locally, functioning as a genuine if narrow circulating medium during the annual festival period.
