Vrede van Rijswijk, penning geslagen op last van de stad Gouda 1697

This silver medal, created by Johannes Drappentier in 1697, commemorates the Peace of Rijswijk, a series of treaties that ended the Nine Years' War. The medal's obverse depicts a female figure symbolizing peace, standing on a sea monster and holding a laurel branch. The reverse features a figure of Peace seated upon a throne, while angels hover overhead, suggesting a divine presence. This 7.3 cm diameter medal provides an important historical record of the Peace of Rijswijk. It is a prime example of the medallic art of the late 17th century.
