1759 Guadeloupe Surrenders Medal. By Lewis Pingo. Betts-417, MI.427, Eimer-22. Silver. MS-65 (NGC). 40 mm. A wonderfully original Gem with rich olive-gray patina and bolder charcoal outlines to many of the design elements. Exceptionally well preserved and highly attractive, showing wispy handling marks that are subtle enough to be found only when sought out. The design elements are razor sharp, the fields are free of all but a few trivial marks, and the high rims are well preserved. This is one of four American entries in the SPAC series, accomplished in a style that imitates the coins of ancient Rome. The American series consists of the Louisbourg Taken, Quebec Taken, Montreal Taken, and Canada Subdued medals of 1757 to 1760, along with this one, while the non-American entries in the series include Goree Taken, the Concord of the Allies medal for the Battle of Minden, and the scarce Victory at Plassy medal. Most commonly seen in copper, this and all SPAC medals are decidedly scarce in silver. Provenance: Ex Rudman Collection. Click here for certification details from NGC.
