Vrede van Rijswijk 1697

This silver medal, created by Georg Hautsch in 1697, commemorates the Treaty of Rijswijk, which ended the War of the Grand Alliance. The obverse depicts a building with an angel flying above, symbolizing the peace achieved through the treaty. The inscription "Pax Ryswycken 1697" is written below, marking the location and year of the signing. On the reverse, a female figure symbolizing Peace stands holding a branch and a scroll, while the Latin inscription "Concordia Pacis Tilicae" is written around her. The medal's small size and intricate details make it a remarkable piece of historical art.
