Description
(1766) William Pitt and Lord Howe Medal. Betts-524. Pinchbeck, 24.8 mm. AU-55 (PCGS).
67.8 grains. A very scarce little medalet, struck during or after the Seven Years War to celebrate the political contributions of Pitt and the military contributions of Commodore Richard Howe. Glossy olive brown with golden highlights. This is an uncommonly high grade for this medal, which usually appears with a very poor strike on the portraits and serious surface problems. This would be pretty much impossible to upgrade.
PCGS# 921198.
