- 1723 Compagnie des Indes Medal. Betts-113. Silver, 30.6 mm. AU-55 (PCGS). 128.5 grains. An important jeton-sized medalet celebrating the Compagnie des Indes and depicting its evocative company arms, depicted by a pair of allegorical American natives. Brilliant silver gray with flashy surfaces. Somewhat handled and hairlined, but crisp and attractive. Often included in collections of Franco-American jetons, and included in Frossard's monograph on the series, this has always been a scarce but popular piece. We've sold three in the last decade. A PCGS EF-40 brought $1,800 in our November 2021 sale, the exceptionally pretty E Pluribus Unum AU-50 (PCGS) brought $7,800 in the same November 2021 sale, and the LaRiviere-Sallay piece graded AU-58 (PCGS) brought $9,400 in November 2016. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex the John W. Adams Collection; our (Bowers and Merena's) sale of September 1985, lot 3112; our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XIII, January 2006, lot 832. To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F. Martin Collection, click here. PCGS# 615030.
