Yoda (Design For Coin Reverse) Preliminary Coin Art
This almost certainly represents an early concept for the reverse side of the POTF coins. If you compare it with the reverse of the small Luke X-Wing coin that served as a test for the entire line, you'll undoubtedly recognize the similarities: the bust image of Yoda, the large text reading Jedi Knight and May the Force Be With You. On the small Luke X-Wing coin, the May the Force Be With You bit was moved to the bottom rim, the Yoda bust was decreased drastically in size, and a short paragraph was inserted into the center of the coin describing the Jedi Knights.

The released version of this coin can be seen here.
