Older ones, had  the coin, I think they went to the decal about the same time they did the ambidextrous plastic pegs.. Early 70's

I believe the year was 1974 when the decal was used on some of the lower end bows.

Bear made alot of bows for schools in earlier years and did not bother to put medallions in alot of those either.
