This silver medal, created by Dutch medalist Christoffel Adolphi in 1674, commemorates the signing of the Treaty of Westminster, which ended the Third Anglo-Dutch War. The obverse depicts William III on horseback, a symbol of his military prowess, while the reverse features an eagle carrying a branch of olive, signifying peace and victory. The inscription "A Domino Vient Pax et Victoria Illa" (Peace and victory come from the Lord) emphasizes the divine support for William's actions, making this medal a significant historical artifact and a valuable example of 17th-century medallic art.
