Description
This is a “Good for ¢ 10 Bucks” token from Prescott, Arizona. It was produced for R. Stoughton circa 1926 for one of the annual “Frontier Days”. The first Professional “Rodeo” ever held, dating from 1888, Prescott’s Rodeo is still held each year.
“Frontier Days” is still held around the 4th of July each year. The Rodeo is still an attraction and they have a parade.
Prescott (pronounced by most locals as "Press-kit" instead of "Press-cot") is a city in Yavapai County, Arizona. (Please see the map below). In 1863 this remote and lightly populated town was designated as the original Capital of the "Arizona Territory". This was done in order to keep the seat of government far from Confederate sympathizers prevalent in the southern part of the state. The Territorial Capital was moved south to Tucson in 1867. Ten years later, in 1877, Prescott again became the Territorial Capital and remained so until the capital was finally changed to Phoenix in 1889. Arizona became a State on Valentine's Day, February 14, 1912.
Weight: 1.50 Grams, 24 Millimeters, Aluminum.
