Vrede van Munster 1648

"Vrede van Munster" is a commemorative medal created by Johann Blum in 1648. The medal depicts Pax, the Roman goddess of peace, standing on a pile of broken weapons and a crown, symbolizing the end of the Thirty Years' War. The reverse side is inscribed with a text that reads: "The peace of one hundred years." This medal, like many commemorative medals, is a small, portable object designed to remind viewers of important historical events. The medal's small size, with a diameter of only 4.3 cm, suggests it was likely a personal object meant for display or private collection.
