Ron Landis responded in an email: Quote: "John Karger was the Falconer at several Renaissance Festivals in the 80s & 90s. His non-profit organization nursed injured eagles, etc. and returned them to wild. I made three or four varieties over the years that he sold as fund raisers. He was very devoted to the cause so he may still be actively involved somehow. Ron Landis" "I happen to have one right in front of me. I’m pretty sure this is the first variety and probably the most common. It was hot struck. When I retooled for my larger press I engraved new dies for cold striking. We were going to make larger silver proof for him after we left the festivals but got distracted with our reproductions and never did" (Further edit from Ron) The coin you presented above is the same as the 'hot struck' one he mentioned.
