Mexico Gold 50 Pesos Question

Hey everyone. Was looking to potentially pick up a Mexican gold 50 Pesos and had a question. Looks like they did a lot of restrikes with this coin (which I believe to be coins struck with the original dies at a later date correct me if I'm wrong there). I see on some of the slabs it actually says "restrike" which helps. Others it says KM-481 or KM-482...are those also restrikes? If not what are those referring to?
I want to pick up one example of the type and want to avoid a restrike if possible so just wanted to make sure I'm on the right path.
Appreciate any help and please post your example(s) if you have one, they are beautiful coins!

The restraikes are for 1947. Otherwise were minted from 1921 to 1947 and there are 2 versions, with or without (1943) 50 pesos legend. But a 1921 or 31, for example, are not restrikes.
Thanks!
Any explanation for the KM-481 or 482 notations on slabs? I'm seeing them on slabs with mutltiple different dates and some say "new die restrike KM-481" etc. havent been able to find exactly what it means.
The 482 is the 1943 issue that does not say 50 pesos. All the others are 481, say 50 pesos. The restrikes are from 1947 only and are many issues, some old other newer.
@Abuelo is correct. I think to clarify the point... restrikes were done after 1947 and all restrikes are dated 1947 regardless of when minted. So, if you pick up any earlier date, it will not be a restrike.
Appreciate the responses. I'm new to dabbling in World coins and have tons to learn but am loving it!
Those 50 peso coins are sweet!
