Description
1677 Franco-Dutch War Medal, MS62
Dutch Fleet Burned at Tobago, Betts-56
Betts-56. 1677 Medal Franco-Dutch War, Tobago, Silver, MS62
PCGS. The Dutch Republic regained control of Tobago in 1674
with the Second Treaty of Westminster. Fort Sterreschans was built
by the Dutch, and repelled French naval attacks in February and
March 1677. On December 6, 1677, a fleet led by French admiral
Count d'Estrées destroyed the settlement and killed the Dutch
leader, Jacob Binckes, ending Dutch attempts to settle the island.
This rare silver medal commemorates the French victory. Betts
translates the reverse legend as "the fleet of the Dutch burned at
Tobago." Sharply struck and satiny with lightly marked silver-gray
and caramel-gold surfaces. (Est. $4,000-$6,000).
