Comment

This is the replacement type for the original Assay Commission medal of 1869 with stars around the obverse border, which die was withdrawn from production early in the year due to a prominent break at star 5.

The Mint produced at least 40 silver impressions of this issue, 21 in February and 19 in April. This is the type that was probably actually distributed to Commission members (as opposed to its With Stars counterpart)

This medal was also produced in aluminium as a collectors item.
