George II IPM Treaty of Easton again. But this one is a restrike of newly Prepared dies 1882. Early strike. Gem.

I could swear I saw an example of that first restrike just last night, in my browsing. I was on CRO and Kraljevich's site, among others...?
Yes, the first restrike shown is courtesy of CRO. The Indian Trade Medalet is courtesy of the esteemed JK.
