1905 Medal Honeycutt-1001 var Gilt Silver RE

Coin Details

Description

This 1905 medal cataloged as Honeycutt-1001 variant is a gilt silver restrike (RE designation) related to Philippine numismatic history. The gilt silver composition — silver with a gold wash — indicates a higher-quality presentation piece produced as a restrike rather than an original striking. The 1905 date places this medal during the early years of American sovereignty over the Philippines, a period when the United States was establishing its colonial administration and monetary system in the islands. The Honeycutt catalog systematically documents medals, tokens, and related numismatic items connected to the Philippines, providing the standard reference for collectors of this specialized series. The variant designation indicates a die variety or composition difference from the base Honeycutt-1001 catalog entry.
