^ That's most likely a dealer ID badge, with the dealer name and city stamped into the perimeter portion of the rim. Though that rim appears to be abnormally thin/narrow so that the stampings would be very small, and thereby hard to read except when your head is half a meter away. Dealer badges were a popular trend at the time. Alexwoa gallery-
