This silver medal, created by Laurenz Pönninger in 1814, commemorates the First Peace of Paris between France and the Allied powers. The obverse features a female figure representing Peace, holding a branch of olive and a cornucopia, symbolizing prosperity and peace. The inscription reads "Votis Expetita Reddita" (Desiring, sought, obtained). The reverse depicts a wreath of olive branches surrounding the inscription "Pax Parisiensis Europae Salus" (The Peace of Paris, Salvation for Europe). The medal serves as a historical record of the significant event that marked the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the beginning of a period of relative peace in Europe.
