This silver medal, created by Martin Holtzhey in 1745, commemorates the Peace of Füssen. The obverse depicts a bust of Maria Theresa, Archduchess of Austria, while the reverse shows the allegorical figures of "Optimae Pacis" ("Best Peace") and "Praemia Pacis" ("Rewards of Peace") symbolizing the end of the War of the Austrian Succession. The medal's small size and weight make it a miniature example of 18th-century commemorative art.
