1758 British Victories of 1758 Medal. Betts-416. Bronze. MS-62 BN (NGC).44.2 mm. A handsome example of this popular medal, one that cites American battles at Louisbourg, Frontenac, and Duquesne as among the signal victories of the campaign year. Choice mahogany and autumn-brown with generally smooth surfaces and great eye appeal. The design elements are smartly impressed and crisp, the fields semi-reflective. This is a fairly common medal (though scarcer in this format than brass or pinchbeck) but offers outstanding value as a contemporary celebration of current events in the era of the French and Indian War.
