Description

1773 William Pitt, Lord Chatham Medal. Betts-522. Silver. EF-45 (PCGS).

26.1 mm. 101.8 grains. Light silver gray with attractive old toning. Though quite common in copper, this is a very elusive medal in silver, struck as prizes in a contest conducted by The Sentimentalist magazine of London around 1775.

From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from George Fuld on May 3, 1973; our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XIV, May 2006, lot 393.
