One of only a handful of original dies still in existence, the only others that I am aware of are 123, 129, 131 and 174. All have been used at one time or another to make fantasies. Uniface silver examles of die 123, 1939 CSNS tokens used the 129 die, uniface White Medal and counterstamped examples of 131 and uniface Aluminum and Gold examples of die 174 are all know.
