1755 Safety at Sea / Security of Colonial Trade. Silver. 35.2 mm. 14.5 grams. By Peter Paul Werner. Betts-392: Eimer-652. Choice Extremely Fine. A lovely piece, lightly toned around the peripheries. Close inspection reveals some very light contact marks in the fields of both sides, but they do not affect the original reflective prooflike surfaces. Sharply struck and well preserved, this premium quality example will enhance any collection of early American medals. The Betts reference describes this medal as "rare". From the Q. David Bowers Collection.
