Sounds more like a medal, but certainly not a coin. Strange to celebrate a 120th anniversary.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

with the mints being thoroughly underused, it may be prudent on their part to not wait for their 125th anniversary

There are three variants of these tokens of 120th Anniversary. These tokens are good with photos, but very bad quality with the strikes especially the 8 grams copper one.

seems similar to the new year and Christmas coins released by them last year
the frosting is horrible,
Unfortunately, as is the case with us always, we have only one option, resigned to our fate :'(

Forget the tokens. The coins itself are horrible now a days. As you know, today I brought International Year of Millets. I checked almost 70 proof sets, where I found lots had scratches and damages on as many as 14-15 coins.
