The device has no particular allusion, beyond the general
sorrow for the loss of the Queen. As Bumet says, “ Never
was such a face of universal sorrow seen in a court, or in a
town; all people, men and women, young and old, could scarce
refrain from tears.”

This device closely resembles that of the preceding medal.
To the general expression of sorrow it adds the hope of the
Queen’s resurrection to heaven. This medal is very rare, as
the dies broke before many specimens were struck.
