Looks like they were done on brass slugs with a pantograph. Maybe omit the outer ring so they don't get confused with the originals.

Late to the party. If there is another run of these, I'd like one. I know you can't sell them but I'd donate/ cover the cost.

Possible that the first ones were, I think possibly stamped. The detail on the first ones were not deep enough that I could make a mold and have enough depth in the detail to finish after casting(tried that). So I made the second ones with a relieved background.
I am unable to produce more at this time. We sold our store and jumped the California ship.I am not set up at this time to cast. I did keep the mold so maybe at a future date I will make more, it's just not feasible for me right now.

I have both & there is no way to confuse them. Both are a work of art for sure.

I was fortunate enough to receive an original back in the day. I thought long and hard about the most suitable way to use it. All I could think was "Man, if I put this on a key ring it will get dinged and scratched, or worse, lost! So, mine resides in my gun safe with old coins, jewelry and other valuable/irreplaceable treasures that I own. It is far too magnificent in workmanship and sentiment to risk damaging or losing it.
