- 1721 Guadeloupe Fortified Medal. Betts-148. Bronze, 41.3 mm. MS-63 BN (PCGS). 523.6 grains. Sedate medium brown bronzed patina over lightly reflective fields. Some pastel highlights are seen in protected areas. Struck from a copy obverse die; compare Ford:837, with a die chip on E of ET, for instance. The LaRiviere specimen was struck from the same obverse die as this one. Mostly known as restrikes from the 19th century, this Betts number is rarer than most of the others related to France's Caribbean adventures in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Paul Bosco, January 2013. To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F. Martin Collection, click here. PCGS# 614110.
