Great Britain, copper alloy Admiral Vernon medal, Vernon and Fort Chagre / Porto Bello, 1739, ex-Adams. AC-FCv6F. 37 mm, 15.02 grams. Bold VF with dark bronze surfaces and lighter high points from wear, typically flat-faced Vernon that is oddly appealing in its crudeness (AC: "simplistic and graceless, with facial features like a caricature"). XRF: 49.31% copper, 48.84% zinc, 1.13% lead. Pedigreed to the John Adams Collection (with his handwritten tag).
