1980 coins on presentation board have obverse and reverse. Blank back?

Proofs
What I said was, my 3 coins, shown above, have finished backs, unlike most proofs, see other examples, which are blank backed

My understanding is and I could be wrong the definition of proof is a sheet of printed material that is made to be checked and corrected whether it is blank backed or not. Prototype is designed to test and trial a new design or concept to market. Maybe the same or not after corrections made. Proofs for coins limited number of newly minted coins or medals struck as specimens and for collectors from a new die on a polished planchet.

The coins are not proofs because they were not minted for collectors or public. They are prototypes for a product that got cancelled for some reason before production.

Proofs or Prototypes
I can buy into your distinction but under that distinction all the items pictured above would be prototypes. How would you classify the Topps 1984 Encased or Head in The Box cards ?

1984 Encased Head
I would consider them proofs. It was a step and or process making final changes towards the final product.
