Basic Features
Armour distributed plastic coins that were included in packages of hot dogs. These coins came in a variety of colors and shades noted below. The front side of the coins displays a raised image of the ballplayer along with the player's name and team. On the reverse side, positioned between a baseball diamond and crossed bats, are the player's name, team, position, birthplace, date, batting and throwing preferences, as well as the hitting or pitching record from 1954. Each 1955 Armour coin is available in two distinct "bust tilts," where the tip of the cap and the back point of the bust direct towards noticeably different sections of the rim.
Coloring agents convert ordinary plastic into visually appealing coins. Pigment powders are extremely concentrated and integrate effortlessly with melted plastic, which explains the numerous subtle color variations. They simply mixed a batch of green multiple times without adhering to a specific formula, resulting in the diverse shades of green.
