The Alaska Rural Rehabilitation tokens were issued by the U.S. government for use in a colony of 203 midwestern families who relocated to Alaska in 1935 as part of a New Deal program.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Token 50 Cents ND (1935) from Alaska (United States (pre-federal and private/territorial)) made of Aluminium is that it was issued during a time when Alaska was still a territory of the United States, and not yet a state. The coin was minted in 1935, and Alaska did not become a state until 1959. This coin is a unique piece of history that highlights Alaska's territorial past and its transition towards becoming a state.
