Description

1781 Dutch Naval Victory at Cadiz Medal. Betts-583. Silver, 45 mm. MS-62 (PCGS).

468.9 grains. Deeply reflective and boldly lustrous, mostly brilliant with a light gathering of pale violet and blue at the peripheries. Exquisitely struck and free of any issues beyond light old hairlines. The weight of this piece and the previous lot are not typos or cut and paste errors: these two finely made medals by Holtzhey weigh exactly the same. Elegant, historic, and attractive.

From the Richard Margolis Collection. Earlier from our (Ponterio and Associates') sale of May 1991, lot 584.

Estimate: $1500
