Huwelijk van Lodewijk XIV en Maria Theresia, koning en koningin van Frankrijk, penning uitgestrooid onder de aanwezigen 1660

This silver medal, created by Jean (II) Warin in 1660, commemorates the marriage of Louis XIV and Maria Theresa. The obverse depicts the royal couple in profile, while the reverse features a scene of rain, symbolizing the abundance and prosperity expected of their reign. The inscription "Non Letior Alter" translates to "None is more joyful", a fitting sentiment for this celebratory piece. This small, but detailed, medal is a fine example of the artistry and symbolism of 17th-century medallic design.
