I'm trying to hunt down more information on this Libertas Americana restrike bronze medal from 1983. This particular medal was minted at the Paris Mint based on the edge markings, and is quite large. It is 78-79mm diameter, 5mm thick, and weighs about a half-pound. I can't find much information on the web regarding the mintage, etc. but I'm hoping someone here might know a bit more.

Note the obverse differs from the original medal with a modified date legend of "1783 3 SEPT. 1983". This commemorates the 200th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Paris. The reverse bears the "4 JUIL. 1776" date in exergue, which on the original medal was beneath Miss Liberty on the obverse. I found these "modifications" to be quite interesting.

Here is the medal:



And, here is a picture for size-comparison:

 

I picked this up at the Charlotte show not too long ago, and got it imaged just tonight.

I think it looks more graceful/professional without the wording, what do you think?

 

Here are three of my most recent purchases. This is the first Daniel Carr I've gotten.
