This silver medal, created by Jean Mauger in 1699-1703, commemorates the French victory over the Germans at the Battle of Spires in 1693. The obverse features a bust portrait of Louis XIV, King of France, with the inscription "Ludovicus Magnus Rex Christianissimus". The reverse depicts a personification of France driving back personifications of Germany and the Rhine River, symbolizing the French victory. The medal's small size (4.1 cm in diameter) makes it a miniature work of art, showcasing Mauger's skill in capturing historical events in a compact format.
