GREAT BRITAIN, copper alloy Admiral Vernon medal, 1739, Vernon and Lezo and Brown / Porto Bello, ex-Adams. AC-PBvlb1A. 11.84 grams. 39 mm. Weakly struck AVF from failing dies, mostly glossy dark brown but high points lighter, interesting cataloging error by Adams who confused it as a Cartagena issue ("Discovery Example / CAvlb 1-B" on tag); XRF: 51.82% copper, 44.19% zinc, 3.04% lead. Pedigreed to the John Adams Collection (with his handwritten tag).
