Were these Silver Bars given out/sold at KFC?

I bought these little 1/4 oz silver bars at a local bid board a month or so ago because I thought they were neat. When I got home and looked at them closely, I saw what appeared to be an image of the Colonel. So, I started trying to research, and as you can imagine, typing KFC, Colonel Sanders, or anything with the words silver bar in them brings up alot of results. But after a few weeks, and bing and google burnout, I figured I would post and see if anyone here remembers this. They are dated 1981 and since that would only be 22yrs after Alaska became a State, I am going to assume these were part of some larger marketing deal? Maybe all the states? Maybe something else. Any help is appreciated, and sorry if the pics are too big.
