Eerste eeuwfeest van de vrede van Munster 1748

This silver medal, crafted by Martin Holtzhey in 1748, commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Peace of Westphalia. It features a lion on the obverse, standing on a platform with the coat of arms of the Netherlands and a ship sailing towards the horizon. On the reverse, an angel kneels on an altar, representing peace and justice. The inscription "SIC STET" on the medal's reverse refers to the hope for a lasting peace in Europe. This medal, a fine example of 18th-century Dutch medallic art, serves as a reminder of the significance of the Peace of Westphalia in European history.
