Description
Early American and Betts Medals
1782 Frisian Recognition of American Independence Medal. Betts-602, Van Loon Supp., 572. Silver. MS-62 (NGC).
44.1 mm. Reflective fields with smartly impressed design elements, the entire package is lightly toned in iridescent sandy-silver and pewter gray. Frisia was the first of the Dutch states to recognize American independence from Britain. Quite symbolic, this medal illustrates a Frisian in ancient armor holding the hand of a young Indian Maiden representing America while holding back Britain who, while extending an olive branch, stands with her lion at her side and a snake in the grass at her feet.
Estimate: $900
