Description
1713 Peace of Utrecht Medal. Silver, 58 mm. Eimer-458, MI 399/256. SP-55 (PCGS).
1148.9 grains. Attractive medium gray with a subtle violet and blue tone and some bright gold in the fields. Scattered hairlines on both sides, devices a bit bright, toned down and free of any other significant defects. The devices are well defined. Though omitted from Betts, the Treaty of Utrecht was hugely significant in North America, not least of all for the transfer of Nova Scotia from France to England, a treaty-table decision that forced the exile of the French-speaking Acadians from the province. The significant numbers of these Acadians who decamped to French Louisiana became known as Cajuns.
From the Richard Margolis Collection. Earlier from Noble Numismatics' (Sydney) Auction 98, November 2011, lot 3392.
Estimate: $750
