GREAT BRITAIN, London, half crown, George II, 1745, with LIMA below bust as made from captured Peruvian silver. Sp-3695; KM-584.3. 14.60 grams. Popular type commemorating the capture of tons of Spanish Peruvian silver and gold on the French ships Louis Erasmus and Marquis d'Antin in the North Atlantic by English Captains Morecock and Talbot on their privateer ships Duke and Prince Frederick (not, as commonly told, related to Commodore Anson's successes in the Pacific). Fine example with light surface hairlines, some retained luster with golden and blue toning. Housed in a large folio-type certificate.
