But then alas, mine is a restrike. Still way cool nonetheless . . . . .

I purchased it as a restrike but had no idea where to start researching the original coin / medal it was based upon. The seller described it as an "Anglo-Hispanic war re-strike big coin medal with Hebrew letters."

I would still like to discover additional information on who created this restrike, when, and what the metallic composition is. If this was created in the 1970's or earlier, it has a bit of historic significance in it's own right methinks.

From the sellers photos, I guessed it was probably around 35mm to 38mm. Imagine my surprise when it came in at 51mm weighing 48.4g, and much more detail than his fuzzy photos showed. I am thinking this is at least coin silver (.900). It has a distinctive "ring" to it.

If this in fact is .900 silver, my cost (shipped from overseas) came in at about 60% melt . . . .

Just some common junk silver for melt.
