| Additional information |
Matane, a small port city on the south shore of the St. Lawrence, incorporated as a town in 1937 — making this 1987 issue a straightforward municipal jubilee piece. Local trade tokens and commemoration coins of this type were common across Quebec during the 1980s, typically circulating within a specific merchant network or issued as collector souvenirs rather than genuine tender. The issuing authority here is the municipality itself, not the federal Crown.
