- 1759 Allied Commanders Medal. Betts-425. Silvered Brass, 46.0 mm. AU-50 (PCGS). 325.7 grains. A very scarce medal, scarcer still in this format, as most are seen in plain copper. Attractive deep antique silver gray with a somewhat granular appearance from the crudity of the silvering. An interesting piece, intended for a Continental audience, depicting King George and King Frederick facing on the obverse (and making clear why there's a town near Philadelphia named "King of Prussia"). The reverse shows notable officers involved in the war for America, including Boscawen and Amherst, in addition to Prime Minister William Pitt. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Fred Baldwin, June 1965; our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XIV, May 2006, lot 89. To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F.
