1969 CITGO Coins
In 1969, to commemorate Baseball's 100th Anniversary, CITGO released their
"Famous Baseball Player Coin Collection" of 20 brass coated metal coins.
On the front, the coins featured the player's name and a raised image of
his head. The back displayed a banner honoring baseball's s 100th Anniversary.
The coins are approx. 1" in diameter and are very susceptible to
tarnishing due to oxidation.
Customers received a single coin in it's sealed pack free with a fill-up and
could pay 25 cents for additional coins.
The 20 coin set could be inserted into a cardboard backing for display.
On the back of the display was a short bio with stats of each player.

cardboard backing and some more sample coins:

1960 Topps Baseball Cards Checklist & Values
1960's top rookie was Red Sox great Hall-of-Famer Carl Yastrzemski.
Another Hall-of-Famer was pitcher Jim Kaat. Kaat had an incredible
baseball career. Check him out on Wiki and you'll also see why he
gets my vote as the greatest golfer of all-time.
Another rookie card is Hall-of-Famer Willie McCovey with the Giants
and then Frank Howard who was a GIANT (of a man, he was huge).
Such a great crop that future .363 hitting Batting Champ Tommy Davis
barely makes this list.
As was normal back then, the 1960 Topps baseball card set was released
in series and ended up with the usual very scarce high #s. Making it
even more interesting, like their 1959 issue, Topps again put their
special All-Star subset, stuffed with Hall-of-Famers like Mantle &
Mays, in the very scarce high# series.
Two last things and I'll let you go.
Cards #375 thru #440 came in (2) variations. The more common
gray-backs and the somewhat scarcer white-backs. Cards #507
thru #572 were quite scarce high #s.
