Great Britain, copper alloy Admiral Vernon medal, 1741, Vernon and Ogle and Wentworth / Cartagena, ex-Medina. AC-CAvow1A. 12.12 grams; 39 mm. Dark olive gray color, XF with sharp obverse details but reverse more shallow, evidently NOT the one pictured for 111 in Medina but traced to his collection. This variety is interesting in that the reverse exergue shows the date as April 1, 1741--April Fool's Day--an appropriate date for a "conquest" that never actually happened. XRF: 49.65% copper, 45.80% zinc, 3.35% lead. Pedigreed to the Jose Toribio Medina collection.
