Charles II silver Specimen "Naval Victory Against Holland" Medal ND (1665) AU55 PCGS, Eimer-230, MI-I-503/139. 62mm. Edge plain. By J. Roettier. Struck to commemorate the Battle of Lowestoft on June 13, 1665 during the Second Anglo-Dutch War, this Battle saw more than 100 naval vessels under the command of Lieutenant-Admiral Jacob van Wassenaer Obdam attack the similarly sized English fleet commanded by James, Duke of York. The English, having the advantage in ship and gun size, as well as fleet training, quickly overwhelmed the Dutch whose commanders tactics went against orders. In the end, the English lost only one ship, Great Charity, while the Dutch lost seventeen and around 2000 men. Slightly worn to the highpoints (as is to be expected on such a high-relief piece), otherwise well-preserved and handsomely toned to a dark slate gray.
