1781 Battle of Doggersbank Medal. Betts-590. Silver, 25.8 mm. MS-61 (PCGS).

Highly lustrous, richly reflective, and exceptionally sharp, this medal is mostly brilliant but for a hint of golden toning at the rims. Somewhat hairlined but still very attractive. Significant double striking is best seen in the obverse exergue. A charming little medal, one that was clearly popular upon issue given the use of two reverse dies and the fairly substantial surviving population.

PCGS# 615225.
