Yes, prooflike. I think they put it in a holder near to the date of issue... I rather like the design and am trying to find the 1975 matte of this....
OK, I'm not trying to wear readers out but I have been collecting and studying currency (and proof) issues of the Franklin Mint from the 1970s and...
BTW, and this may be for a few readers only, but I am trying to find ANY evidence of any Post-1977 matte coins struck by the FM for ANY country...

Wow, Paddy, like the silver one. And always liked the design, I know I have a copper version about somewhere.
