British Columbia Centennial Commemorative Issue
To the commemorate the gold rush centenary and the establishment of British Columbia as an English Crown colony, a special reverse coin design was employed. British Columbia is the only area in Canada where the Indians constructed totem poles, so the design is very appropriate. It was rumoured that this issue was unpopular with the coastal Indians because it contained an element which to them signified death.
