Note: Known worldwide as “The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth”, the Calgary Stampede has been a trademark of Calgary since 1912. The production of commemorative numismatic items for the Calgary Stampede dates back to at least 1925, but Trade Dollars, valid as legal tender in Calgary during the Stampede, were first produced in 1963. This bas-relief bronze shows the reverse design of the first of numerous Charlie Beil designed trade dollars.
