Description
"Reopening Maritime Commerce" silver Medal 1596 AU Details (Tooled) PCGS, Van Loon-I-pg. 488, Betts-16, VC-1. 53mm. A thoroughly engaging piece, and one considered the first "Brazilian" Medal, struck to celebrate maritime commerce between the Portuguese and Dutch in the colonies prior to the development of tensions leading up to the Dutch-Portuguese War. Reminiscent of contemporary Talers in composition, depicting Neptune riding a sea monster and a Latin legend reading "May Nepturne's Kingdoms Prosper, under Fortunate Stars," while the reverse displays the crowned arms of Frisia and seven Dutch port city names. While tooling is noted and somewhat extensive, the piece at hand remains in an advanced state of preservation, with ample remnant details and pleasing tangerine silhouettes. Of significant interest to both Brazilian and Betts Medals collectors. Sold with an old collection envelope.Metal: Silver
Diameter: 53mm
