This set seemed to "break the mould" in that they were unusually large in size (dimensions wise), compared to previous sets that A&BC had produced. This 'Orange Back' set contained 255 cards and again possessed the same theme on the backs of them as the 1968-1969 set, with a coin rubbing session being the order of the day.
The set was made up of 3 series.
Series 1 consisted of card numbers 1 to 84, series 2 consisted of card numbers 85 to 169 and series 3 consisted of card numbers 170 to 255.
