Hey mate, really nice find...and in such good nic too.
There were three versions of this medallion pressed. Roy1954 found one version a couple of years back, I found another (without the beaded edge) last month, and now you've found the third with the "WL" signature. Roys is the rarest, followed by mine then yours. Yours is worth around $50 but really, who cares about the value! It's all about the history....well, that's my take on it anyway!
