Almost Extremely Fine. On the reverse, the edge has rolled over in two places but it does not detract in any way from the actual medal or the legend

Obverse: Bust of Anne looking left, crowned, with lovelock on the left shoulder, in a gown fastened with a brooch in front. Legend: ANNA . D : G : MAG : BR : FR : ET . HIB : REGINA..
