Are there any known reproductions of the Manned Flight Awareness coins made with flown metal for Apollo 8 and Apollo 11?

Are there two different versions of the Apollo 11 MFA medallions? I thought they were the same size as the Apollo 8. The Apollo 11 medallions I have are about a quarter of an inch smaller than the Apollo 8 and made from a heavier metal than aluminum.

Apollo 8 and Apollo 11 Manned Flight Awareness medallions differ in size and material.

There are two variants of the Apollo 11 MFA medallion, a more common silver colored alloy variant and a less common gold plated version.

Thanks! The aluminum and gold-plated versions of the Apollo 11 are the same size, correct?

From what I have read, it seemed likely the 2nd anniversary versions were plated on top of existing medallions from the first run, correct?
