This silver medal, created by John Croker in 1697, celebrates the Treaty of Rijswijk and William III. The obverse features a bust portrait of William III, while the reverse depicts a female figure symbolizing peace holding a trident and a shield. The medal, measuring only 7 cm in diameter, is a testament to the artistic talent of Croker, who was renowned for his medallic work. This small but significant artwork is a powerful reminder of the historical events it commemorates.
