This silver medal, created by Jan Boskam in 1697, commemorates the Peace of Rijswijk, a series of treaties that ended the Nine Years' War. The obverse features a crowned figure representing peace, while the reverse depicts the Huis ten Bosch Palace in The Hague, where the treaties were signed. The medal's small size, just 6 cm in diameter, emphasizes its personal nature, likely intended as a memento or gift to commemorate the end of the war.
