1776 Lord Bathurst Medal. BHM-203. Bronze. MS-62 BN (NGC). 37 mm. Henry Bathurst, 2nd Earl Bathurst, (1714-1794), also known as The Lord Apsley from 1771 to 1775, was a British lawyer and politician. He was Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain from 1771 to 1778. In January 1774, he was instrumental in writing the Intolerable Acts which he supported in parliament and the courts, most notably the Boston Port Act, which gave rise to the Boston Tea Party and revolution. Collectors of medals with colonial American themes, therefore, would be wise to consider this offering.
