This silver medal, titled "Inname van Parijs, ter ere van Alexander I, tsaar van Rusland en Frederik Willem III, koning van Pruisen" (Capture of Paris, in honor of Alexander I, Tsar of Russia and Frederick William III, King of Prussia), was created in 1814 by an anonymous artist. The medal features an angel, symbolizing victory, on one side and an inscription commemorating the victorious siege of Paris by the Allied forces during the Napoleonic Wars on the other. The medal, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a small but significant historical artifact that reminds us of the events that shaped Europe in the early 19th century.
