Engraved Coins, Naval interest, George III regal halfpenny, the reverse smoothed and engraved, "Success to the Earl of Sandwich", very fine
The coin would seem to refer to John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich (1718–1792) who held the office of First Lord of the Admiralty on three separate occasions, 1748-1751, 1763 and 1771-1782. It is also possible that it could refer to HMS Sandwich, Admiral Rodney's ship at the Capture of St Eustatius in 1781.
(80-120 GBP)
