Measuring about one-and-a-half inches tall, the image is the reverse of how it appears on the coin.
In the mid-1800s, a die like this would have been made by a craftsman, fashioned with tiny chisels, scrapers, and hammers. This die, which made campaign medallions of Abraham Lincoln in 18, would have required at least 100 tons of pressure. Simply place a blank (or coin-shaped) piece of metal between two steel dies-and then smash them together with incredible force.
