Admiral Vernon medals are a fascinating series of 18th-century commemorative medals that were struck in Britain and the American colonies to celebrate the naval victories of Admiral Edward Vernon, a British naval officer most famous for his capture of Portobelo (Panama) in 1739 during the War of Jenkins' Ear.
Interesting that these medals from depicting the battle of Cartagena were Propaganda despite defeat.
The medals were struck before or during the campaign, celebrating a victory that never came.
They show Vernon and British commanders "receiving the keys of Cartagena" — something that never happened. These pieces are a stark example of 18th-century premature propaganda
Nice collor and example for this rare type
