Description
1782 Recognition of the United States by Frisia Medal. Betts-602. Silver, 44 mm. MS-62 (PCGS).
440.9 grains. Even champagne toning is seen across the boldly reflective obverse, while the reverse is darker olive gray with pale blue highlights. A lovely example, free of major defects, just the usual light hairlines. Some minor marks are seen at the upper left reverse, and a short nick is seen under G of GROOT on Britannia's shield at the right side of the obverse. This substantial medal celebrates the Dutch state of Frisia offering full recognition to the new United States of North American at the end of the American Revolution and, left unsaid on the medal, the ability of the new nation to act as a full partner in trade.
From the Richard Margolis Collection. Earlier from Charles McSorley.
Estimate: $1000
