Libertas Americana Paris Mint Gold Medal Restrike 64grams 2.25oz Minatge 500

A recent restrike (possibly 2001), 64 gm of .920 fine gold, diameter 45.9 mm, limited mintage of 500 pieces of which this piece is number 382. The high relief design is portrayed to bold effect, apparently the same design as the original dies with the well-known bust of Liberty facing left, cap and pole behind her, LIBERTAS AMERICANA above, 4 JUIL. 1776 in exergue. Reverse design same as the original medals, an allegory in which an infant (America) is protected from an attacking lion (Great Britain) by a female warrior (France), NON SINE DIIS ANIMOSUS INFANS at rim, 17/19 OCT. 1777/1781 in exergue referring to the victories at Yorktown and Saratoga. This large medal is an uncertified Gem proof that contains nearly two net ounces of gold (1.89 oz according to our calculations). It is in a plastic capsule with white plastic ring insert that prevents viewing of the edge. For those who wish to determine the year of striking more closely than we are able, the following on the paperwork provides a possible clue: "The signature of Françoise SALIOU Mintmaster of [Paris Mint], certifies the heritage and authenticity of this medal which has been expertly restruck by the French Mint." In original "Monnaie de Paris" packaging.
