Anne was the eldest daughter of king George II of England, and wife of Prince William IV of Orange-Nassau. She died at only 49 years of age, in 1759, a year before her father, and was renowned for her promotion of the arts and sciences (hence their personifications are displayed on this commemorative medal).
