| Obverse description | Central field depicts a family group of three figures — a man, a woman, and a young girl — standing to the left, rendered in relief against a vintage steam locomotive and an early automobile to the right, evoking the pioneer era of Swan River's settlement. The legend 'SWAN RIVER' curves along the upper inner field above the stylized script inscription 'Homecoming 83', while the lower field bears the inscription '75 Anniversary' incorporating the numeral 75 as an integral design element. The coin's border is defined by a continuous beaded inner rim encircling the entire design. |

| Additional information |
Swan River's 1983 souvenir dollar was one of dozens of municipal trade dollars issued across Manitoba during the early 1980s, when small prairie towns adopted the format as a local economic stimulus — encouraging residents to shop within their own communities by circulating a redeemable scrip-style token through participating merchants.
