- 41 mm. 486.1 grains. Plain edge. A beautiful medal, with lustrous chocolate brown surfaces on the obverse and deep tan on the reverse, with pull-away patina revealing mint color around peripheral legends. Double struck to bring up bold relief, and immaculately well preserved. Ford had six of these. Four decades after the French reduced and captured Cartagena, the English under Vernon had a go at it with less success.
