 The Quaker, Duffield, or Treaty of Easton Medal, 1757. Unsigned. B.401, Ja. fig.8, J.IP.49, Tancred, p.46. Silver. Original, struck over a Spanish American 8 Reales. 44.0mm. 406.5 gns. Bust left of George II; colonist and Indian seated around a council fire passing a peace pipe. Holed for suspension as made. Leaved edge of the undertype. Fine to Very Fine. Good, lighter gray color with some pale golden iridescence around the rims. The surfaces clearly show the piece was once worn as a decoration.
