In early autumn 1740, Commodore George Anson set out with a squadron of six vessels to harass Spanish possessions in the New World. Among various adventures along the Atlantic and Pacific shores of South America, Anson’s ships captured a quantity of silver and gold bullion bound for Spain. This precious metal was born back to Britain following a dramatic circumnavigation across the Pacific, and was struck into coins bearing the commemorative legend LIMA.
