Description

1631 Victory at the Bay of All Saints Medal. Betts-32. Copper, 30.1 mm. VF-20 (PCGS).
85.3 grains. Medium brown fields contrast with lighter brown devices. A bit granular but problem free otherwise and offering good detail and eye appeal. This jeton celebrates the Spanish victory over the Dutch at the Bay of All Saints in Brazil, with an allegorical comparison made on the reverse to Samson defeating a lion, the common animal emblem of the Netherlands in this era.
PCGS# 613765.
