1739 Admiral Vernon Medal. Fort Chagre. Bath Metal. Adams & Chao FCv 12-P, Betts-287 var, M-G 206. Rarity-5. AU-58 (PCGS).A scarce and impressively sharp Admiral Vernon piece painted in a medley of olive-gold and chocolate brown shades. Nearly Mint State, substantial traces of original luster remain in the protected areas throughout. The devices are incredibly well struck for the variety and issue, with the stippling in the obverse field prominent and the embellishments of Vernons coat fully intricate. Traces of orange residue are scattered throughout the reverse, but the surfaces are free of notable abrasions. A truly superior example for both type collectors and specialists.
