CONQUEST OF CANADA COMPLETED. AE 40mm, Saint Lawrence River at rest under laureate triumph to Amherst, with beaver, French arms in exergue. Reverse: captive Montreal under pine with eagle and French armorial trophy. Commemorating the victory of the British over the French and their native allies in the North American theatre of the Seven Years' War (The French and Indian War) specifically, the fall of Montreal in September of 1760. The outcome of this was one of the most significant developments in a century of Anglo-French conflict: the 'Conquest of Canada' and further expansion of the British Empire. Nice patina.
