Harry Healy operated a trading post in the Canada Yukon Territory town of Old Crow which is located on the Porcupine River in the far northern part of the territory.
 
The trading post operated from the 1920's to the 1930's to serve fur trappers who mostly trapped muskrats.
 
Harry Healy issued three types of tokens, Good For $1.00, $0.50, and $0.25. The Token and Medal Society (TAMS) TAMS Journal, October 1971, had an article on these tokens, "The Harry Healy Tokens of Old Crow, Y. T.", by Donald M. Stewart.
