This medal commemorates the marriage, on St. Anne’s Day,
28 July, 1683, of Prince George of Denmark with the Princess,
afterwards Queen Anne, daughter of James II. It anticipates

realized, as all their children died young.

Beautifully executed ; without date, which in this case is
perhaps immaterial, as it does not record any particular event.

the King. The dies are in the British Museum.
