Souvenir Dollar - Dauphin, Manitoba

Canada's National Ukrainian Festival has been held annually in Dauphin, Manitoba since 1966, making it one of the longest-running ethnic cultural festivals in the country. These souvenir dollars were issued as a fundraising and commemorative mechanism tied directly to the festival's gate economy — spent locally, rarely leaving town, and almost never entering general circulation.

The Pellman reference MB34 places this squarely within a well-documented Manitoba souvenir dollar series, though surviving examples in unimpaired condition are harder to locate than their modest origins might suggest.
