Watch List notes:

World Medals, Spain, Philip II (1527-1556-1598), The Conquest of America, Copper Medal, 1590, signed PH:F, armoured bust left, with ruff collar, PHILIPPVS II DG HISPANIA REX, rev hands release knot holding globe to yoke, SIC ERAT IN FATIS, 32.5mm (cf MI 147/117). Nearly very fine.
For many years the medal has been designated to the Defeat of the Spanish Armada [1588], whilst the attribution to Jacopo da Trezzo was diputed because of the unfamiliar signature IAC. TRICI. F.. Attwood now confirms both the designation and the attribution. (150 - 250 GBP)
