George I bronze "Cape Passaro - Naval Action" Medal 1718 MS66 Brown NGC, MI-439-42, Eimer-481. 44mm. By J. Croker. Obv. Laureate bust of George I right. Rev. Figure of Neptune atop a naval column, around the base an array of captured trophies and standards. Commemorating a decisive British victory over a Spanish fleet during the War of the Quadruple Alliance. Immaculate in strike and stunningly preserved, this specimen is resplendent in its glossy fields and lavish in the generosity of its details. It is no surprise that this grades at the upper echelons of Mint State. A gratifying piece for the collector of British Medals or militaria.
