Struck in copper. William H. Key engraved two different dies with the Liberty Bell design. Careful inspection notes numerous differences,
most noticeably the digit 6 in the date. This variety has a rounded 6 on both the obverse and reverse, the other die variety SH 2-3 has a pointed 6. These dies are not found paired with any other dies and are almost always holed. The chance purchase of this medal in bronze turned into a life changing event for one of the authors. This particular medal has no key signature on reverse.
