The catalogue also notes the bust of Commodore Perry in the new die was inferior to the original. Mintage quantities are not stated in the Julian catalogue. These metals are very hard to date. Many medals, this one included, have been produced in recent years and are marketed by the mint as of today. The modern medals are referred to as "late bronze" or "yellow bronze." Condition.
