- 1763 Treaty of Hubertusburg. Silver. 44.7 mm. By Leonhard Oexlein. Betts-446, Olding-931. MS-61 (NGC). Exceptional Mint State quality for this popular peace medal from the American colonial era. The obverse is richly toned in slightly mottled steel and pewter gray, while the reverse is more evenly patinated in lighter sandy-silver. Direct lighting calls forth vivid undertones of blue and gold, as well as an appreciable semi-prooflike finish from the dies. Boldly struck throughout with only a few well scattered handling marks to define the grade. As the Seven Years War (1756 to 1763) drew to an end, the Treaty of Paris closed the tensions that defined the American theater of conflict (known in the colonies as the French and Indian War), while the Treaty of Hubertusburg wrapped up loose ends among the European combatants soon thereafter. Provenance: From NASCA's Providence Collection sale, July 1981, lot 192. Lot tag included. Click here for certification details from NGC.
