The examples shown on ACSearch are better struck with more spread flans, so it&#039;s easier to see the wreath on the reverse, surrounding the image. But this is what most of them look like. (I&#039;ve got a bunch of these little thick ones that came in group lots.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Notice the monogram in the lower-left of the reverse.
