This silver medal, created by Johan George Holtzhey in 1785, commemorates the Peace of Fontainebleau, a significant event in Dutch history. The obverse depicts a seated female figure representing the Dutch Republic, holding a laurel branch and a scepter, with an angel playing a trumpet above. The reverse features a Latin inscription detailing the peace treaty and its terms. The medal, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable historical artifact that offers insight into the political landscape of 18th-century Europe.
