Reference:5818 Engraved Naval Copper, c. 1800

A finely engraved ship under sail.

A foul anchor dividing the letters S V.

Copper. 27 mm.

Condition: Very Fine

Notes:

Fine workmanship and perhaps a little earlier than suggested. The scanned image gives the impression that the design is in relief, but it has in fact been engraved into the surface of the blank, and very nicely so.
