Childbirth of Princess Anne of Orange. 8 Dec. 1736.
Ruler:
George II (1727-60)
Engraver:
Swinderen, Nicolaus Van
This medal was struck in Holland. The child, whose birth is here recorded, died within half an hour of its birth. The dies were, therefore, doubtless prepared in anticipation of the event, the date being subsequently added, as also the fall of the orange, signifying the untimely death of the child.
