Consigned to a Stack's foreign coin auction (I'm lucky I spotted it) straight out of Europe. No prior auction or collection history. Finely reeded edge. An 1808 Amsterdam / New York ("New Amsterdam")Dutch/American medal. Certainly not in any other collection and probably made for the Captain of the Adelhaide (or his wife or sponsoring company).
