Burger King sponsored the 8th Pan American Games in San Juan. There were 25 different sporting events. I have only seen the following tokens: Athletics, Base Ball, Fencing Gymnastics, Judo, Hockey, Rowing, skating, Shooting, Softball, Weight Lifting, Volley Ball
The 1979 Pan American Games officially the VIII Pan American Games were a multi-sport event governed by the Panam Sports Organization, and were held in San Juan, Puerto Rico, from July 1 to July 15, 1979. Volleyball and some baseball matches were held in Caguas, Puerto Rico.
