Milton, Ontario held its centennial celebrations in 1957, marking 100 years since the town's incorporation in 1857. Like several Canadian municipalities of the period, Milton issued a small-denomination scrip note as a commemorative souvenir rather than a functioning currency — these circulated symbolically during the festival period and were largely kept as keepsakes rather than spent.
Canadian municipal centennial scrip from the 1950s was produced by a handful of domestic security printers, though attribution for individual township commissions is often poorly documented.
