1758 Oswego Captured Medal. Betts-415. Silver. EF-40 (PCGS).

1758 Oswego Captured Medal. Betts-415. Silver. EF-40 (PCGS). 30.8 mm. 175.6 grains. Reeded edge. The only medal in the French and Indian War series that commemorates a French victory - Montcalm's successful reduction and capture of Fort Oswego in upstate New York. Ideal deep antique gray toning show undertones of gold. Scattered with light marks, but free of major defects and offering superb visual appeal. The Oswego Captured medal is sometimes collected alongside the Franco-American jeton series, owing to its French origin and jeton-like size. But this medal also seems to have been used as a jeton: most are circulated, the edge is always reeded, and plentiful contact marks are the norm. Once considered a classic and desirable rarity, this medal has been underappreciated in recent years. Provenance: Ex John Kraljevich Americana, August 2019; Sydney F.
