1739 Admiral Vernon Medal. Adams-Chao NLv 4-D. Rarity-6. Pinchbeck, 40.0 mm. AU-55 (PCGS). 117.4 grains. A distinctive and attractive type, showing a well rendered three-quarter length portrait of Vernon on the obverse and the Duke of Argyle on the reverse. Glossy honey brown with splashes of golden color that retain some luster. Some areas of trivial granularity are seen, but the overall appearance is high grade, wholesome, and attractive. Adams notes this piece has "two commendable portraits enhanced by a well-balanced composition." It is quite scarce. PCGS# 922845. <strong>To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F.
