Perhaps initially Morel had thought there existed a 41mm medal and when the 51mm come along it created some confusion?

Weird - everything about this is just odd. How do they know "unofficial" dies were used, and why would anyone pay over the odds if it's just an unofficial restrike or ... fake?

That's the one. I even had an enquiry once from a museum up Hastings way about that piece from the HK replicas board. At least they asked, I guess. I added the WINS page link to the FAQ of one of the coin groups on Facebook some time ago to save writing detailed replies every time one of these "treasures" is discovered.
