Vrede van Rijswijk, penning geslagen door de stad Neurenberg 1697

This silver medal, "Vrede van Rijswijk," was designed by Georg Friedrich Nuernberger in 1697. The medal commemorates the Peace of Rijswijk, which ended the War of the Grand Alliance, a conflict between France and a coalition of European powers. One side of the medal depicts the city of Nuremberg, with a radiant sun above, symbolic of the peace. The other side features a female figure representing peace, flanked by a lion and a griffin, symbols of power and wisdom. This small, finely crafted medal is a beautiful historical artifact that showcases the artistic talent of Georg Friedrich Nuernberger.
