Holiday in Reno $25 Bicentennial

I came across this great old silver token in Bill Akeman's auction last week. Just happened to be in the store in LV when the auction was concluding. If you aren't on Bill's auction list, you should be. You can get b/w auction catalogs mailed to you if you bid from time to time. There are also color postings of the auctions on his web site. He often has unusual items, both chips and tokens.

If anyone has more info on this token, I'd be interested in hearing it. It obviously was issued in 1976 to commemorate the bicentennial of the United States. Edge markings indicate the maker, Medallic Arts Co and the .999 silver composition. The numbers I've scanned may related to the issue quantity but "1113" is an odd number for a total. Also, I've not seen the slash used in a serial number before. This is surely not serial #1 is it?
