The obverse depicts a bust of King George I and the reverse depicts a rostral column decorated with ship's hulls and surmounted by a statue of the king as Neptune, standing among a pile of trophies. Legend: 'SOCIORVM . PROTECTOR.' (The protector of the allies). Exergue: 'CLASSE . HISP . DELETA . AD . ORAS . SICILIAE . 1718.' (The Spanish fleet destroyed off the coast of Sicily, 1718.)

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 12/28/2017 08:53 am If these medals are (relatively) inexpensive it might be good to include a general price range too. I'm sure you've collected these for a good period of time and such a price estimation might draw a coin person to considering medals. Report this Post to the Staff
