Great Britain, copper alloy Admiral Vernon medal, 1739, Vernon / Porto Bello, ex-Adams (plate), ex-Craige. AC-PBv31CC. 14.40 grams; 38 mm. AU with some original color and luster, appropriate for a plate piece, but with odd disturbances in fields that appear to be scratches and corrosion, which tag refers to simply as "troubled surface." XRF: 53.40% copper, 40.07% zinc, 4.25% lead. Pedigreed to the John Adams Collection (with his handwritten tag) and to the Ted Craige Collection, plated on page 70 of Medallic Portraits of Admiral Vernon (2010), by Adams and Chao.
