Jim:

Since the lens says "G. Zuiko" rather than just "Zuiko," the rules seem to 
imply that this will be a single-coated lens.  ("G" for 7-element-lens.)  All 
Zuikos with a letter prefix were single-coated (even though discussion 
continues to rage on this point).  See Joseph's post for a good summation.
