This medal is without date, and the artist is unknown. It
is of poor workmanship, and was probably struck at the commencement
of this reign. The portrait of the Queen is the
same as on the medal struck whilst she was still Princess of
Wales. (See No. 47, p. 443.)

This and the following pieces are counters struck at Nuremberg.
They are all of very poor workmanship, and though
sometimes rare are of no value. They were struck at various
dates, but early in the reign of George IT.
