Hudson’s Bay Company 1946 $1 Eastern Arctic aluminum Token. Issued just after World War II to teach the Inuit about Canada’s Decimal System. Before this time, HBC tokens were issued in Made Beaver amounts. Since the Inuit didn’t trap many beavers, they needed different tokens. Issued in 1946 and used until about 1962. AU.
