Undated (circa 1820) George III Hudson’s Bay Company Indian Peace Medal. Copper, Bronzed. Eimer-1120, BHM-1062, Jamieson Fig. 20. MS-67 BN (NGC).
48.0 mm. 869.7 grains. Outstanding dark chocolate bronze surfaces with deeply mirrored fields and sharp satiny devices that create a pleasant contrast. Subtle pale blue mottling is noted in the fields. Aside from a few trivial hairlines in the fields, there are virtually no signs of handling on this superb medal. Boldly struck and very attractive.
