These are struck on eagle diameter planchets as part of an anti-counterfeiting effort. This design also has a die blunder in that the "V" in "Five" is actually an upside down "A".

2 Examples were struck in gold both of which were formerly in the Wilkison collection. The finer example is now in the Simpson collection.

The Byron Reed coin, listed as a third example in David Aker's book on gold patterns is actually a thin planchet copper gilt example of J272/P320. of which over a dozen are known, several of which have been gilted.

Incomplete reverse die JA1860-4/P3248 and hub JA1860-5/P3251 trials, struck in lead, are also confirmed to exist.
