1779 American Revolution French Calendar Medal in Brass
1779-Dated American Revolution, French Calendar Medal, Struck in Brass, Choice Extremely Fine.
38mm. This pleasing chocolate and rich brass Calendar Medal is sharp in detail and defect free. All 18th century Calendar Medals are scarce, but those medals dating from the American Revolution are very scarce. We offer a lovely one from 1779 sharply struck in brass and has excellent original color and surfaces. Although this medal is in French, it was struck in England for France, the American/French Colonies, and the French West Indies. It may sound amazing to some, but being enemies in wars did not mean merchants had to forfeit profit. In fact, they made more profit during wars than they did during peace time. This type of Calendar medal would typically be carried as a pocket piece.
