Ford Collection, part XVI, Stack’s, 17 October, 2006 (lot 50 - $22,000); Betts 436), with original decorated loose suspension loop, even grey tone, good very fine, with no sign of die flaw on reverse, extremely rare *ex Baldwin’s vault and with stock ticket for £50 John Adams, Indian Peace Medals, Crestline, California, 1999, discusses these medals at some length and concludes that they were almost certainly distributed at the bequest of General [Gentleman Johnny] Burgoyne (1722-1792). In an earlier publication, Paul Edmond Beckwith, American Indian Peace Medals, Washington, 1907, writes ‘In 1765 a treaty was made with the British and Pontiac, and his chiefs were presented by Sir William Johnson, at Oswego, with the medals known as ‘the lion and wolf medals.’ A large number of these were distributed…’. However, Alan M. Stahl, Coinage of the Americas Conference, ANS, New York, 1997, confirms Adams’s conclusions. The Adams ‘Modern Census’ lists just 17 ‘Lion and Wolf’ medals, of which one (see Ford catalogue) is now thought not to exist. Only 7 are of this variety. This medal does not feature on the census.
Lot 486
World Medals, USA, George III (1760-1820), Indian Chief’s Medal, large size and undated, solid silver, GEORGIUS III DEI GRATIA, young bust of King r. wearing armour, his hair tied behind en queue, double row of curls above his ear, wearing armour with six studs above the sash and one below, rev. crowned oval shield of arms within Garter and with Lion and Unicorn supporters, DIEU.

Ford Collection, part XVI, Stack’s, 17 October, 2006 (lot 59 - $14,000); Eimer 736a; cf.Betts 600), with original decorated and shaped loose suspension loop, even light grey tone, single slight edge bruise, extremely fine and very rare *ex Baldwin’s vault and with stock ticket for £25 The Adams ‘Modern Census’ lists 86 medals of this type, however only 24 of this variety and of these 11 are shells (ie the medal is hollow). This medal does not feature on the census. The price of £50 matches item 11 on a Baldwin list of 1943/4, ‘Prices Quoted to Montagu - Alterations for Ferguson’ and it is probably one and the same piece. The Ferguson mentioned would be J. Douglas Ferguson (1901-1981), who for over 50 years was known as the ‘Dean of Canadian Numismatics’. In 1971 he established the J. Douglas Ferguson Historical Research Foundation. The cataloguers speculate that Montagu could be George Charles Montagu, 9th Earl of Sandwich (1874–1962). Montagu compiled British and Foreign Medals Relating to Naval and Maritime Affairs, Greenwich 1937 (for the then newly-opened National Maritime Museum).

British Coins, Charles I, triple unite, Oxford mint, mm. plume/-, 1643, crowned bust l., holding sword and olive branch, plume behind, rev. Declaration on scroll between mark of value and date, three plumes above, wt. 26.70gms. (S.2725; N.2381), extremely fine on a broad flan, some alloy flecks on reverse, portrait exceptionally sharp, legends crisp and complete, rim beading bold on each side, some softness of strike on a few portions of the Declaration, surfaces pleasing with few abrasions, very rare and always in keen demand as the largest gold coin ever struck in England, and a classic of our Civil War The ancient university town of Oxford served as headquarters for the fleeing King Charles during much of the Civil War, and the active temporary mint there was a principal source of revenue for the Royalist army from 1642 to 1646. While this coin is universally admired today, at the time of issue its reputedly powerful image of the king was interpreted more as the vision of a chased monarch fearful of losing both his throne and his life, as of course actually did finally occur. Charles’s famous Declaration extolling the Protestant religion, the laws of his kingdom, and liberty granted to his subjects was made in a speech at Wellington in 1642, and it effectively set off the war. This, his largest coin, declares or promises to uphold those values but the coin itself was not seen by many subjects as its primary purpose was to purchase war materiel. Few of his wartime coins, certainly the largest ones carrying the highest purchasing power, survived long after conclusion of fighting. As Royalist forces had moved from one location to the next, pursued by Oliver Cromwell and his Puritan, parliamentary army, the coins tended to disappear almost as rapidly as they had been made, usually from plate, jewellery and older coins. Survival of a coin like this, essentially unblemished considering the ravages of its times, was really a matter of chance. Few of the total mintages from the three years of issue exist today, and all are prized as the ultimate expression in precious metal of the war which caused the traditional powers of kingship to change forever.
