- 1739 Admiral Vernon / Duke of Argyle Medal. Adams-Chao NLa 1-A. Rarity-5. Pinchbeck, 37.2 mm. MS-63 (PCGS). 198.5 grains. A popular and evocative type, showing a cartoonish rendition of Sir Robert Walpole being led into the mouth of Hell. This piece is included in the Vernon series by virtue of both of these dies appearing in marriages with Vernon obverses. This example is exceptionally high grade, glossy golden brown with some remaining luster. The devices are well defined, and no corrosion or post-striking defects are notable. A very choice survivor of this widely collected variety. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex the F.C.C. Boyd Collection; our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XIII, January 2006, lot 577. To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F. Martin Collection, click here. PCGS# 783105.
