Mork & Mindy source was
taken from a sci-fi-based American sitcom broadcast from 1978
until 1982 on the ABC. The first episode was broadcast on September 14,
1978. The series starred Robin Williams as Mork, an alien who came to
Earth -- in a large egg-shaped space ship -- from the planet Ork, and
Pam Dawber as Mindy McConnell, his human comedic foil and eventual love
interest for Robin Williams' character.
ORK: This is a round, uniface “1 Grebble” piece made of cardboard. The
printed side is a glossy, trompe l'oeil depiction of how a metallic
Orkan coin might appear. I
acquired it from Erik Victor McCrea.
