1739 Admiral Vernon Medal. Porto Bello with Vernon's Portrait Alone. Adams-Chao PBv 44-UU, M-G 75. Rarity-6. Copper. AU-55 (PCGS).

37.3 mm. 254.6 grains. Faintly granular on the obverse and reverse with trace dullness as a result, medium brown otherwise and sharply impressed. One shallow edge blunder above THE likely from the original casting or planchet making process. No surface issues beyond these, and attractive on balance.

From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from our Philadelphia Americana Sale of September 2011, lot 33, where it was misattributed as Adams-Chao PBvi 20-GG.
