Jeff 11 Valued Member United Kingdom 497 Posts	Posted 02/19/2014 08:09 am A really nice attractive medal - with a bit of History behind it surrounding the rivalry with the Dutch. I don't think its listed in BHM (British Historical medals) - I wonder then if it was made on the continent for the British market? www.kingstoncoincompany.co.uk Report this Post to the Staff
yarm Valued Member United States 343 Posts	Posted 02/19/2014 1:58 pm This medal was just a bit early for Brown's BHM series which began with the accession of George III in 1760. There is a reference in Hawkins' Medallic Illustrations, Volume II, Page 659/#365. It does appear to have been made outside Britain by Ludwig Christian Koch. According to Forrer, Koch was a mint engraver at the Gotha Mint in Germany from 1750-1793. Although the medal is dated 1750, the year the Free Fishery Society was incorporated, this isn't necessarily the year it was produced. Bob Report this Post to the Staff
Jeff 11 Valued Member United Kingdom 497 Posts	Posted 02/20/2014 2:38 pm Of course, I should have thought of that! I see it now in MI. Are those medals in the gallery in your signature in your collection Bob? A fantastic collection if so. The Pondicherry medal in bronze is one I've been chasing in high grade for a while now www.kingstoncoincompany.co.uk Report this Post to the Staff
