| Beschrijving keerzijde | The inner disc of the reverse portrays a bust-length portrait of Dr. James Naismith facing slightly left, depicted wearing spectacles, a suit and tie, and holding a basketball, with a period peach-basket used as the original basketball hoop shown to his right. The dates 1861 - 1939 appear above the portrait within the inner field, flanking the denomination mark $4. The circumferential legend around the outer golden ring reads BIRTHPLACE OF DR. JAMES NAISMITH, INVENTOR OF BASKETBALL, while the lower portion of the inner disc carries the redemption notice REDEEMABLE AT PARTICIPATING MERCHANTS UNTIL DEC. 30, 2011 in three lines. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mississippi Mills issued this piece as part of the wave of Canadian municipal "trade dollars" that proliferated after Timmins pioneered the format in the 1960s. These local issues were never legal tender — they functioned as promotional currency, typically redeemable at participating merchants and sold to collectors at face value or a modest premium.
The $4 denomination is an oddity even within this genre, where $1 and $2 face values dominated.
