- 1739 Admiral Vernon Medal. Adams-Chao PBv 11-I. Rarity-6. Pinchbeck, 26.4 mm. EF-45 (PCGS).
74.6 grains. Mahogany with glossy surfaces on both sides, highlighted by slightly contrasting ruddy and golden haloes around devices. A handsome piece, seemingly a bit higher grade than that assigned by PCGS. Smaller format Vernons tend to be harder to find in top grade; one wonders if their small diameter was indicative of a lower price and more likely acquisition by the sort of 18th century citizen who didn't have a medal cabinet at home.
Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from DNW's sale of April 2019, lot 969.
