I'd link to 19lyds's photos, but that would take away Lee's fun - he's the photo guru of these usually.

Generally speaking, IKE Types refer to the reverse die design and can be identified by the layout of the Earth on the moon's high horizon.

CONECA refers to these as Reverse Die Varieties.

Type 1 = RDV-001
Type 2 = RDV-002
Type 3 = RDV-003
Type 6 = RDV-006

Two other varieties exist which are also refered to by the general collecting community as Type 1 and Type 2 and these are the BiCentennial designs RDV-004 and RDV-005 illustrated below.
