This medal, created by German artist Christian Josef Krüger in 1801, commemorates the Peace of Luneville, a treaty that ended the War of the Second Coalition. The obverse depicts Peace, represented by a female figure, offering a laurel wreath to a kneeling figure symbolizing war. The reverse depicts a woman placing a sword into a barrel, symbolizing the end of conflict. The medal's small size and inscription make it an important artifact for studying European history and the Napoleonic Wars.
