This silver medal, created in 1690 by an anonymous artist, commemorates the end of the conflict between Amsterdam and William III. The medal depicts a female figure, likely representing Amsterdam, standing between a lion and a wolf. This allegorical scene symbolizes the resolution of the dispute, with the lion representing Amsterdam's strength and the wolf symbolizing William III's power. The inscription around the edge of the medal translates to "How great the difference is, this is Amsterdam restored." This commemorative piece, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, is an example of how medals were used to document and celebrate historical events in the 17th century.
