From the British Museum Website, Curator's comments: Medallic Illustrations 1, published in 1885, states: This medal is a variety of M.7134; 1865,0724.2 and 1866,0606.3. All these medals are extremely rare. They are always cast, and sometimes chased, and were executed by Heinrich Beitz [sic] the younger. They were issued to commemorate the treaty between the English and Dutch by which the latter were to pay £30,000 for the permission to fish in the British seas. The fleet which was equipped to bring about this treaty was engaged in clearing the narrow seas of pirates.
Not eligible for slabbing because of the cast manufacture and the fact that so few examples exist.

Description: toned XF with teal highlights. Ex CNG with tag. From the 1887 Harptree Hoard. During a drought in November of 1887 a worker looking for a water source near East Harptree south west of Bath (England) hit a metal jar of coins with his pick. Among other things the jar contained 1496 silver coins from nine Emperors from Constantine I to Julian II with Julian II being the most abundant followed by Constantius II. The hoard was studied by the British Museum and published by John Evans in the Numismatic Chronicle of 1888 pages 22-46. Most of the coins were returned to the finder and other than a small group stolen when displayed at a local church at the time remained in the family for more than 100 years until many of them entered the numismatic market in September of 2016.
