    Pond notes these were said to be widely distributed to school children.

     

    Added by lanceroy: Yes, they were distributed to schoolchildren with a short information sheet detailing the history of the coin. It also states that these coins were given to all Worcestor children from grade 2 through junior high by Mayor O'hara. My dad was one of those children.
