Anne, Death, 1714, a copper medal by J. Croker, laureate bust left, rev. sun setting behind hill, clouds above, 44mm (MI II, –; E –). Minor spotting in obverse field, otherwise extremely fine and patinated, extremely rare and unusual £100-150

The death of Queen Anne does not appear to have been commemorated by any contemporary medals. The reverse of this one, though unsigned, is clearly copied from that executed by James Roettiers for Mary (MI II, 112/344)
