Louis xv silver commemorative with word "Oswego" on reverse [решено]

5 сообщений • просмотрено 52 раз

Hi  I am new to this site.  I am looking for a coin with Louis xv bust facing left on the obverse and 4 or 5 victories on the reverse, one being the word “Oswego”.   I cannot find this in the Numista catalog under commemoratives…   Can anyone help ?  thanks… John Patane, Central New York State, USA

Without pictures, it will be very difficult for anyone to help you. Could you please post clear pictures of each side of your item?

I'm afraid that it's not in the Numista cataloge yet, but you can add it if you have one.

 Beat me to it. Found this one in 

the Royal collection in Greenwich

Wow…thanks to both of you for the speedy reply and great info.  I was looking forward to trying to see if I could find one to purchase, but maybe that is not possible…at least I now know where I can see one…and I have a good picture that I downloaded to my computer.  BTW I was not correct when stating that Louis XV was looking to the left, as the pictures prove otherwise.   thanks again !!
