PMS black 7C is a great shade of bronze, for reference, it's the same as 3m duranodic bronze, and Johnson/Rowmark charcoal grey material. We use it in matthews paint to match almost anything called 'bronze'. On my hp 560, a simple 90% black will produce a nearly perfect match at 20 passes.

Try L*a*b* 71 6 23.

This is based on using the photoshop eyedropper tool on your
image, taking from the middle of the C in the second Cuba.

if you want to use sublimation AND an exact match - try flame deposition of bronze! you may need to get creative on the masking as most things will burst into flame..... the bronze is sublimated in a plasma stream and deposited on the substrate, very similar to inks.....
