Comment

Part of Shell Oil Company's promotional Famous Facts and Faces Game
Players could accumulate any twelve aluminum game coins and trade them in for a prize. With this feature, Shell could state that "Everybody Can Win!" The prize was a bronze 12-piece set of 'Great Americans' medals that have the same designs as the regular game coins. The medals are 20mm in diameter and came mounted on a cardboard display board. This set is called "Great Americans - version 1 - Collector's Edition" and has a copyright date of 1968 on the display board. The Franklin Mint produced 23,590 of these bronze sets, but this prize was completely discontinued in the second version.
