Oregon Centennial Tokens

Many localities sold them as a fundraiser to finance their Centennial celebrations.

The Northwest Specialty Sales Co. created several prototypes and induced 38 localities to purchase the tokens.

Each locality determined the logos that were displayed on the reverse upper and lower curvatures.

The standard reverse had a center with the phrase: "Good For 50¢ in trade At any cooperative Business or Redeemable At face value at the (locality) (location) until 3 P.M. Friday Sept.

There existed variations of the standard reverse phrasing between localities but this one was the most common.
