Description

A gilt version of J-782, providing a base metal approximation of one of the later eagle pattern designs. The production of gilt variants for multiple varieties within the 1869 eagle series indicates sustained interest in comparing designs across different surface finishes and compositions. These gilt pieces complement the gold originals in documenting the full range of the year's design experimentation.
