Tekenen van de voorlopige vrede te Aken 1748

This silver medal, created by Martin Holtzhey in 1748, commemorates the preliminary peace talks held in Aachen. The obverse displays a profile portrait of Charles VII, Holy Roman Emperor, while the reverse depicts a figure symbolizing peace, standing amidst trees and sunlight, radiating the inscription "ENGER MINA PACIS." The small size of the medal, measuring just 4.3 cm in diameter, suggests it was likely intended for personal use or as a commemorative item for individuals involved in the peace negotiations. The medal is a tangible reminder of the historical event and the desire for peace in Europe during the 18th century.
