1695 The Enemys Indic Riches Intercepted Medal. Betts-Unlisted, Divo-262. Bronze. Specimen-64 BN (PCGS).41.2 mm. 518.8 grains. Another example of this fascinating medal, whose reverse design refers to the capture of "Indic riches" by French privateers, though the term is loose enough to cover nearly all wealth of the French empire in this era. Nice medium brown with a hint of mint color. A shallow abrasion in front of the face and a speck of verdigris in the reverse exergue preclude a higher grade.From the Joe Foster Collection.
