Only 7 examples of the 2001 restrikes were struck for the principals of the S.S. Central America investor group. These do not included the extra inscription on the reverse and thus more closely resemble the original dies.
In 1855, Ferdinand Grüner cut the dies for a round-format fifty-dollar gold coin for Kellogg & Co., but coinage seems to have been limited to presentation pieces. Only 13 to 15 pieces are known to exist. A "commemorative restrike" was made in 2001 using transfer dies made from the original and gold recovered from the SS Central America. These pieces have the inscription S.S. CENTRAL A M E R I C A GOLD, C.H.S. on the reverse ribbon.
