Undated (1779) Admiral Keppel Vindicated Medal. Betts-unlisted, BHM-220, Milford-Haven 442. Bronze, 33.6 mm. EF-40 (PCGS).

Coin turn. Holed right of 12 o'clock. Not listed in Betts, though it should have been. Attractive light brown with some lighter rose around reverse devices, vestiges of an ancient cleaning. Only minor marks are seen, and the visual appeal is strong. A distinctive bust of Keppel dominates the obverse, and a scene from his court martial is seen on the reverse, though the multi-headed snake being trod underfoot was likely just metaphorical. BHM calls this RR in bronze, rarer in silver and pewter.

PCGS# 926066.
