- 1760 Triumphs Everywhere Medal. Betts-427. Bronze, 41.1 mm. MS-62 BN (PCGS). 477.0 grains. Lustrous light brown with only a few minor marks on nice quality surfaces. A handsome piece that does double duty as a memorial medal for George II, who died on October 25, 1760, and a commemorative of recent British victories. A goddess of Victory inscribes the names of continents on a shield on the central reverse: ASIA, AFRICA, AMERI and EUR to begin Europe. This medal, along with the 1796 Repub Ameri penny and the Sheldon-1 Chain AMERI cent, appear to be the only numismatic items using that abbreviation. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Leonard Finn in December 1983; John Adams, January 2012. To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F. Martin Collection, click here. PCGS# 619397.
