Numismatist Henry Chapman acquired a group of three different Bechtler half eagle dies, presumably from descendants of the Bechtler family. The dies included one obverse A. BECHTLER 141.G: 20.CARATS and two reverses: the C. BECHTLER RUTHERF: and the shared A. BECHTLER reverse die. In March of 1922, he had a series of proof gold “Bechtler Medals” struck from them at the Philadelphia Mint. It is now believed that 15 examples of each die pair were struck, most of which survive.
Somewhere around a dozen examples of the K-30 are known today, the finest of which is a gem proof. The Kagin-30 is a restrike of the Kagin-29 from polished dies.
