GREAT BRITAIN. James II with Mary/Spanish Wreck Recovered Silver Medal, 1687. NGC MS-61.
MI-619/33; Eimer-285. By G. Bower. Diameter: 54mm. Obverse: Conjoined draped busts right of James, laureate, and Mary, diademed; Reverse: Ship under sail left on sea; in foreground, men in rowboats salvaging for wreckage of the Concepción. Lovely deep purple-blue rainbow toning covers both sides of this uncirculated, expertly engraved, and boldly struck medal. So refined is its appearance that the waves seem to pop off from the medal with cobalt iridescence shimmering through. Already a RARE type, its desirability is further increased by its lofty, wholesome nature.
Estimate: $3000 - $5000
