This Michigan dated !974 Bicentennial Official medallion is weird that it came out in !974 but was a Bicentennial one. I guess they figured the would save some more or make some profit by selling it for 3 years.

And the obverse isn't even 1776 imagery.

Apparently many States issued up to 4 Official Medallions, using a different image for each year 1973-1976, these images were more to do with the individual States' history than the Revolutionary War & Independence. California used an image of a prospector panning for gold etc.
