Interesting fact
The Peace of Westphalia, which this coin commemorates, was a significant event in European history that brought an end to the Thirty Years' War and established the principle of sovereignty in international relations. It was signed in 1648, and the issuance of this coin in 1748, 100 years later, reflects the enduring impact of this peace treaty on the German States and Europe as a whole.
