Maverick. Possible Brothel token good for 25 cents. Brunswick Balke Collender Co. on reverse. R7. According to Hill and Simpson in Yukon Numismatica, the Flori Dora was an early Dawson Hotel, Saloon and Dance Hall. When management changed in 1909 the name was changed to Royal Alexandria. The owners of the new establishment, Mr. & Mrs. Eads went down on the Princess Sophia which sank in fall 1918 leaving no survivors. Excellent condition.
