GREAT BRITAIN. Anne/Peace of Utrecht Gold Medal, 1713. London Mint. NGC MS-61. MI-400/257; Eimer-460; <em>Pax in Nummis</em>-430. By J. Croker. Diameter: 34mm; Weight: 31.87 gms. Obverse: Laureate, draped, and mantled bust left; Reverse: Britannia standing slightly left, holding olive branch, shield, and spear; in background, naval scene to left, pastoral scene to right. An enchanting design, this medallic issue from the penultimate year of Annes reign offers a great deal of lustrous brilliance and a captivating golden-orange tone accentuating the devices. The bust on the obverse in particular is rather bold and in strong relief, with just some scattered friction preventing an even higher designation. Already difficult in gold, this <strong>SCARCER </strong>piece is undoubtedly one of the better examples extant. <strong>To view all items from the Augustana Collection, click <a href="https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/lots?sort=auction_date_lot_number_asc&search=the+Augustana+Collection&limit=36&lots_range=upcoming"> here.</a></strong> From the Augustana Collection.
