QUERY: JENNY LIND MEDAL OVERSTRUCK ON MEXICAN 2R 
Ralf Böpple of Stuttgart / Germany writes: An eBay find: an 1831 Mexican two bits overstruck with the bust of Jenny Lind. I could not find much on Jenny Lind medals, and as far as I remember leafing through the ANS Numismatic Notes publication on her medals a good while back, it's not in there. Is this a newer creation, or is this actually contemporary to the 1850 tour of the U.S. of the "Swedish Nightingale"? I was wondering whether any E-Sylum reader might have additional information, as this is not my field of specialty (I came across it due to the host coin).
Can anyone help? I've never seen anything like this before. -Editor
