Vrede van Rijswijk tussen Geallieerden en Frankrijk 1697 1697

This 1697 silver medal, by Dutch artist Reynier Arondeaux, commemorates the Peace of Rijswijk, a treaty that ended the Nine Years' War. The obverse depicts a crowned female figure, perhaps symbolizing Peace, while the reverse features a figure standing on clouds, holding branches of laurel and olive, symbols of peace and victory. The text on the medal highlights the event and its significance. This small but detailed artwork serves as a historical record of a significant event in European history, showcasing the artistic techniques used in medal production during the late 17th century.
