- 1782 Frisian Recognition of American Independence Medal. Betts-602, var.. Silver. MS-62 (PCGS).
44 mm. Identical in design to the listed type, except for the omission of the artist's signature B.C.V. CALKER F. on the obverse at right, in exergue. Lightly toned in iridescent silver-lilac with olive highlights. The finish is semi-reflective, and the strike is sharply executed. Frisia was the first of the Dutch states to recognize American independence from Britain. Quite symbolic, this medal illustrates a Frisian in ancient armor holding the hand of a young Indian Maiden representing America while holding back Britain who, while holding out an olive branch, stands with her lion at her side and a snake in the grass at her feet.
