This silver medal, created by the anonymous medalist Monogrammist DF, commemorates the victory of Louis XIV over the Triple Alliance in 1672. The obverse depicts a profile portrait of the king, while the reverse features a powerful allegorical scene of a hero kneeling on a conquered lion. This image, likely referencing the biblical story of Samson, embodies the triumph of France over its enemies. The inscription, "A Linct Concordia," is a Latin phrase translating to "United in concord," further emphasizes the strength and unity of the French nation. This historical medal serves as a visual reminder of the power and dominance of Louis XIV and the strength of the French state under his rule.
