This silver medal, created by the Monogrammist L in 1679, celebrates the Peace of Nijmegen. The obverse displays a bust portrait of Maria Theresa, Queen of France, while the reverse depicts a ship sailing through a calm sea, symbolizing peace. This small, but detailed, work of art is an important piece of Dutch numismatics and reflects the historical significance of the Peace of Nijmegen in ending the Franco-Dutch War. The medal's inscription, "Pax optata omnibus adest" (Peace desired by all is present) highlights the importance of peace and its universal appeal.
