1779 (ca. 1880-1898) Captain John Paul Jones / Serapis vs Bonhomme Richard Medal. Paris Mint Restrike. Silver. 56 mm. Betts-568, Julian NA-1. Specimen-58 (PCGS).，Semi-reflective pearl gray surfaces with hints or golden toning within the peripheral lettering. An appealing example with the only mentionable defects being some tiny edge nicks which are not even noticeable without magnification. The Paris Mint restrikes differ from the U.S. Mint versions in that they are signed on both sides by the sculptor and often have edge inscriptions which allow collectors to more closely date their specimens. The edge of this specimen is inscribed with a cornucopia and ARGENT (silver), indicating that this medal was struck in silver and produced between the years of 1880 and 1898. All silver strikings of this medal are highly collectable. This one was produced in the early years of this period, before the original dies had been sandblasted to remove defects.，，
