Baldwin Islamic Coin Auction 14, 8 July 2008 (lots 279 & 280) The Compagnie Universelle du Canal Maritime de Suez was formed in 1858. French private investors were the majority of the shareholders, with Egypt also having a significant stake, however, in 1875, a financial crisis forced Isma’il to sell his shares to the British Government for £3,976,582. The company operated the canal until 1956, when it was nationalized by Colonel Nasser.

(Adams type 10.1, obv. 1, rev. A; Jamieson Fig. 11; John J. 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.

ET. MON. DROIT on scroll below, 79mm., wt. 109.19gms. (Adams type 7.1; Jamieson Fig. 14; John J. 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).
