The interest coupons attached to such bonds may be executed by the lithographed or engraved facsimile signature of such officers. The validity of every bond so executed remains unimpaired by the fact that any subscribing officer has ceased to be such officer before delivery to the purchaser. Bonds issued by a municipality having an official seal need not be sealed with such    seal. The city auditor, county auditor, clerk, or secretary or such other officer as the governing body of the municipality may determine shall sign an endorsement on the back of each bond certifying that the bond is issued pursuant to law and is within the debt limit of the municipality issuing the bond.
