    Description

    1758 Louisbourg French Indian War Medal Scarce CHOICE
    We have a scarce medal in high grade here.
    The variety is Betts-403, 41mm, 15.2g.
    Many medals within this series come wretched, due to low quality metal they used to strike them. Our piece here is sharp as a tack with excellent color and surfaces, save for minor roughness at 10-11 o'clock position (obv). Difficult piece to find, especially one this nice. Worth your attention!
    Front: ADM L BOSCAWEN • TOOK • CAPE • BRETON, Bust of Boscawen in armor facing to observer's right
    Back: LOUISBOURG / IUL 26 1758, five ships in water; Louisbourg under attack with a cannon ball striking a tower on a hill
    Note: painting of the admiral and the scenic view of Louisbourg are just for show and not a part of this sale. Very important medal, as this was the key battle of the French-Indian War that led to British (and American) victory!
