Great Britain, medium-sized silver Admiral Vernon medal, 1739, Vernon and fort and trophies / Porto Bello, rare, ex-Adams. AC-PBvi7H. 10.36 grams; 33 mm. Darkly toned XF with obverse rim-bruise and light scratches in field on reverse, rated R in AC but even rarer in silver, this one clearly superior to the plate piece (also silver) and without that example's W stamp at the bottom on reverse (probably just a private mark). XRF: 93.04% silver, 5.38% copper. Pedigreed to the John Adams Collection (with his handwritten tag), acquired from Christopher Eimer in January 2011.
