Huwelijk van Frans Stephen, hertog van Lotharingen en Maria Theresia, aartshertogin van Oostenrijk 1736

This silver medal, created by Peter Paul Werner in 1736, commemorates the marriage of Francis Stephen, Duke of Lorraine, and Maria Theresa, Archduchess of Austria. The obverse of the medal depicts the couple's profiles, while the reverse showcases a symbolic representation of the union. The small, intricate detail of the medal is typical of 18th-century commemorative art, and the piece would have been circulated as a tangible reminder of the event.
