 George II Indian Medal, n.d. (ca. 1727-60). Obverse signed IR. Apparently unpublished. Brass. 37.5mm. 234.0 gns. Bust left, GEORGIVS. II. REX.; archer in hunting costume drawing bow from behind vine wreathed tree against a stag leaping to the right. Original, integral loop. Very Fine. Nice, rich brassy brown and gold color. Rims broken or irregular in places on both sides. Discoloration/corrosion spots on front and back. Mr. Ford was unable to attribute this piece but believed it to be an Indian medal of the reign. The cataloguer has done no better but suggests it was an archery and not an Indian medal.
Ex A.H. Baldwin & Sons, Ltd. on Bastille Day, 1969.
