  • The initials R.W.J. D and C.W.W. F. are NOT located on the back of this coin.
  • The correspondence was brief on this one, as it just asked for customers to pre-order the next medallion for 1980 and talked about the vinyl (plastic) stands. It appears the correspondence was a copy, and it includes the signature of R. W. Julian.
