Vrede van Rijswijk 1697

This silver medal, "Vrede van Rijswijk" (Peace of Rijswijk), was created by Dutch artist Jan Boskam in 1697. The obverse depicts Pax, the Roman goddess of peace, riding a bull, symbolizing the peace treaty signed at Rijswijk, which ended the Nine Years' War. The reverse side features a detailed depiction of the House of Rijswijk, where the peace negotiations took place. This small but meticulously detailed medal, measuring only 6 cm in diameter, is a testament to Boskam's skill and the importance of the peace treaty.
