1781 Admiral Rodney medal. Betts-unlisted, Milford-Haven 386, BHM-233. Pinchbeck (Brass). AU-58 (PCGS).
33.3 mm. 207.5 grains. A handsome medal commemorating the naval feats of Admiral Rodney, who was lauded on a medal celebrating his capture of St. Eustatius that was cataloged as Betts-579. Brassy brown and rose with some spots and a bit of handling. Pretty nice for one of these.
