1739 Admiral Vernon Medal, Porto Bello, VF35 NGC. Betts-210, Adams PBv 41-U, R.6. Another example featuring the "banana-nose" portrait, though the nose is not as discernable on this example due to the wear present on the design's high points. The fort exhibits stronger detail on this reverse as opposed to some of the other varieties. Golden-brown, tan, and brown shades are present on this specimen displaying a few minor imperfections at the extreme rims. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
