When were these made? Were they authorized, if so, by whom. Just curious about its issue.

    My old LCS had an example like that. There were a number of aluminum pieces promoting the metal's use and its "superiority."

    I remember having a difficult time trying to get a decent/satisfying photograph.

    Yes, I bought it just for the curved Earth side. Sorry about my pics.

    "Newly made" sounds like it was just struck, or restruck. I know you mean "just slabbed," but others might not.

    Thanks, Capt., but I actually thought it to be a reproduction when I bought it several years ago. It is not slabbed. My bad. I thought the curved Earth was not something done then, again my error. Thanks all for your replies. Perhaps some better pics. Aluminum sucks.
