Description
1596 Dutch Colonies, AU50
Elusive Betts-16 Silver Medal
1596 Dutch Colonies in India, Brazil, and Saint Thomas AU50 PCGS
Secure. Betts-16. Silver, 55 mm., Medal turn. Hebrew JEHOVAH in
the clouds over a port city on the horizon, the sea god Neptune
rides a sea monster in the foreground, with the Latin legend "May
Neptune's Kingdoms Prosper under Fortunate Stars." The reverse
presents the Arms of Frisia surrounded by small shields and the
names of seven Dutch port cities: Alckmaar, Hoorn, Enckhuysen,
Medemblick, Edam, Monickendam, and Purmerend. This rare and
important medal, comparable to the rare multiple thalers of the
era, shows signs of double striking as usual to bring up the design
definition. Finer than either of the examples in our offering of
the John W. Adams collection, this piece has bold details and
natural pewter-gray surfaces with delicate peripheral steel-blue
tones.Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 661010)
