Hello!

 

I recently learned of the existance of this note, and just had to add it:

N#564760

 

During the Klondike Gold Rush, the economy in the area surged, and they needed a supply of banknotes to accomodate for that. These banknotes (a few different denominations; I only added one for now) were given a YUKON overprint to indicate they were intended for circulation in that area. So… perhaps we need a new issuer for these notes?

Bank of Commerce also needs addition as well.

 

'Territory of Yukon' is the correct long name in English for Yukon.

Hello!

 

You are correct that the Bank of Commerce also needs to be added (not just to the Yukon Territory, but also to Canada); however, this ticket is for the creation of an issuer and not the creation of an issuing entity. Feel free to request the addition of that one yourself in a separate ticket, if you do not want that request to get lost in this thread.  :)

I would request you provide a source for “Territory of Yukon”. 

 

While your format is not gramatically incorrect, the official name of this place is simply Yukon (or The Yukon)--they dropped the Territory part post-2000 (although they are still a territory, of course). With that being said, these notes were issued when the Yukon first separated from the Northwest Territories, and the area was named as the Yukon Territory, which was its official name for the next hundred years or so, from what I've read.

 

For my sources:

  • Here is the Canadian Government's article of the Yukon (which refers to it as Yukon Territory at first): https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/settle-canada/provinces-territories/yukon.html
  • Wiki also agrees with that naming.
  • As a Canadian living in Canada, this is in-line with what I've heard about this territory.
  • And for its neighbouring territory, it is similarly called Northwest Territories instead of Territories of the Northwest, which likely explains why the Yukon was formatted as such, as again, the Yukon separated from the Northwest Territories back in the late 1890s.

 

If you have a reliable source which says otherwise, we can debate the naming, but I need to see that source first.  :)
