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 and the lesseer was last offered in Bowers & Merena's August 2010 Pre-ANA sale.

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. Red examples are extremely rare.

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