Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the Peace of Ryswick, which was a treaty signed in 1697 that ended the Nine Years' War between the Holy Roman Empire and France. The coin's inscription, "GRATIA VOBIS ET PAX MVLTIPLICETVR," translates to "Peace and Multiplied Blessings to You," reflecting the theme of peace and prosperity that the treaty represented.
