This silver medal, created by Johann Georg Seidlitz in 1705, depicts two winged hearts, their tips intertwined and engulfed in flames, hovering above a stylized depiction of the earth. The inscription "INVNXIT AMOR" translates to "Love conquers all," suggesting a universal message of unity and reconciliation. This piece is an example of the use of medallic art as a vehicle for expressing political or social ideas during the Baroque period.
