928 Coin / medal
Does anyone know the origin of these? The ones that came with Christophorus were 2 sided but these are not. Were they meant to be mounted somewhere?

They were given to owners of 1978 cars when they bought them at their dealer. That is if the dealer even gave the coins to the new owner.
Most of the time they just kept them to themselves.

I thought they came with the Porsche factory calendars?
But I've also read that the "one sided" version is a unique "Car of the Year" advertising piece.
Some hold that they were given to new owners of 78's by the selling dealer.
The world hangs in the balance awaiting the solution to this mystery!

Very nice coin I'd love to have one....Maybe I should check E-bay for one...I did find something I think is cool there: a 1983 un-circulated gold proof 1 Deutsche Mark coin on E-bay for $8.00!!
