Not on view
Silver medal with two busts in right-facing profile in high relief — a laurel-crowned man with long curling hair and a woman with ornate hair — surrounded by raised Latin inscription along the rim
Silver medal with finely struck maritime scene: a three-masted sailing ship at anchor in calm waters, with a small rowboat and figures in choppy waves in the foreground. Latin inscription arcs along the top border; "NAVRAGA REPERTA 1687" appears at the bottom.
