- 1697 Cartagena Captured Medal. Betts-83. Copper, 41.3 mm. MS-64 BN (PCGS). 506.0 grains. Another stellar example, struck from the same dies as the previous lot. The die state is somewhat later, with extensive crumbling at the left obverse rim and other areas. Rich and lustrous medium brown with some peeks of mint color. A little speck of verdigris is present on the knee of the captive, and a natural planchet defect is seen in the right reverse field. Another beautiful example of this historically important medal. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Jim King, August 2017. To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F. Martin Collection, click here. PCGS# 613889.
