1739 Admiral Vernon Medal, Porto Bello, -- Environmental Damage -- NGC Details. VF. Betts-226, Adams PBvi 26-PP, R.5. Admiral Vernon's likeness is standing and his profile is facing right on this smaller planchet example. He is holding a sword in his right hand and a baton in his left, with an anchor to his right and a cannon to this left. Areas of corrosion are present on both sides of this piece, with minor edge damage appearing as well. However, the level of design detail remaining, combined with rich chocolate-brown color, provides this piece with appeal. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
