Lesher Dollars are a type of collectible coin issued in the early 1970s as a form of local currency in California, specifically in the town of Pioneertown. Created by artist and entrepreneur John J. Lesher, these tokens were intended to promote local businesses and community trade. The coins are notable for their unique designs, which feature the image of a miner on one side and the denomination on the other, typically denominated in dollars. Lesher Dollars are highly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and limited mintage.
