As part of the Special Polished Specimen Year Set with a blue label (50,000 Copies)

Individually as an Ordinary Uncirculated coin in a blue square plastic jewel case (200,000 Copies)

The coin was then also released in the following years 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975 & 1976
Those years also saw the coin included in BU Year Sets, Proof Year Sets and BU in square plastic jewel cases.

These are images of the coins as released in square plastic jewel cases.
