Description

1783 Peace of Versailles Medal. Betts-608. White Metal, with Copper Scavenger. AU-55 (PCGS).

45 mm. The more frequently encountered format of this historical "Libertas Americana" medal, struck to celebrate the end of the American Revolution for a very interested European audience. Flashy silvery luster blends with light pewter-gray patina that shows tinges of pale olive. The copper plug has done its job and attracted some trivial oxidation. A very pleasing example of this accessible medal, one that should be present in any collection of Betts medals focused on the era of the American Revolution. Housed in a large-size PCGS holder that allows full appreciation of the medal and its edge.

Estimate: $1500
