The medal was struck from more than one set of dies and in different thicknesses. The first set has an inscribed edge and was presumably for presentation to Charles himself, and perhaps immediate family or supporters, as he is believed to have carried one in his pocket. The present example for sale was struck from the same dies as the gold example illustrated by Eimer; he suggests 75 were struck in gold. Note that it differs from the silver example illustrated in the positioning of obverse legend. Another example does not include the engraver's initial "B" and is perhaps "after Briot". It is likely therefore that the present medal, struck from the same dies as the gold, is the official coronation medal produced to celebrate the event.
