This silver medal, "Vrede van Nijmegen, ter ere van Johan George II, keurvorst van Saksen", was created in 1679 by an anonymous artist to commemorate the Peace of Nijmegen. The obverse depicts a figure representing peace standing on a wave, holding a branch and a dove, symbolizing a new era of harmony. The inscription "VIRTUTE" and "PAX" on the obverse highlight the virtue and peace that the event brought. The reverse showcases a wreath of foliage with the inscription "SIGISMUNDUS JOH. GEORGII" and the year "1679". This commemorative medal served as a historical artifact and a testament to the importance of the event for Johan George II, Elector of Saxony.
