This set is made up of brass Slammer 'POGS' created by the Hoffman Mint, a designer and manufacturer of tokens and medallions.  This set includes a wide variety of images such as dinosaurs, other extinct animals, skulls, eagles,  etc.  The unopend package shown above indicates that this series contains 108 Cool Mike's Mint Caps. What I am not certain of is whether or not these were all issued in 1994.  I've seen several (not listed here) that have the 1994 date on the front of the cap but a 1995 date on the reverse.
