[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 6632943, member: 20323"] [b]The Winchelsea[/b] Barrington's thumbnail takes away a faint trace of white powdery calcification from the back of the medal. The only words seem to be a military saying in Spanish: [i]Por el orgullo de Nueva España.[/i] ("For the pride of New Spain") [color=darkorange]"It may very well be from the ship. Military Star of the Spanish Main. Seven of these medals were given out over the course of the war for distinction and valor.
