Vrede van Munster 1699 - 1703

This silver medal, created by French medalist Jean Mauger in 1703, commemorates the Peace of Munster. The obverse features a bust of King William III of England, King of Scotland, King of Ireland, and Stadtholder of the United Provinces, while the reverse depicts a female figure holding a scale, symbolizing justice and peace. The Latin inscription “Pax Monasteriensis MDCLXXVIII” translates to "The Peace of Munster, 1678", referring to the end of the Franco-Dutch War. This small, yet significant, commemorative medal is a testament to the artistry of the period and the historical importance of the Peace of Munster.
