The seller described it as an <i>&quot;Anglo-Hispanic war re-strike big coin medal with Hebrew letters.&quot;</i></p><p><br /></p><p>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&#039;s or earlier, it has a bit of historic significance in it&#039;s own right methinks.</p><p><br /></p><p>From the sellers photos, I guessed it was probably around 35mm to 38mm. Imagine my surprise when it came in at <b>51mm weighing 48.4g</b>, and much more detail than his fuzzy photos showed. I am thinking this is at least coin silver (.900). It has a distinctive &quot;ring&quot; to it.</p><p><br /></p><p>If this in fact is .900 silver, my cost (shipped from overseas) came in at about 60% melt . . . . </p><p><br /></p><p>Z[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
