AU. Ex: Admiral Vernon Collection. Copper alloy. 39.9 mm. Most examples of this variety are in the traditional copper alloy. Adams-Chao note the only silver example seen is cast. Copper-alloy pieces like the present are struck on cast planchets. Moreover, while this variety is plentiful by Vernon medal standards, most pieces grade only VF or lower; higher-grade pieces are rare. This piece displays superb detail for the grade, with only light high point wear. Bronze-gold and olive-chestnut patina encompass each side, while the obverse fields are faintly tooled. Several horizontal planchet fissures are visible on the obverse with a loupe.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
