The Peace of Westphalia Medal
By Christopher Bower
Europe had been battered by the Thirty Years' War and the Eighty Years' War, exacting
a heavy toll in money and lives. The Eighty Years' War was a prolonged religious war between
Catholics and Protestants, evolving to a struggle for the independence of theProtestant-majority Dutch Republic, supported by Protestant-majority England, against
Catholic-dominated Spain and Portugal. The Thirty Years' War was the deadliest of theEuropean wars of religion, centered on the Holy Roman Empire. The war included many
domestic and foreign players, siding either with the Catholic League or the Protestant Union.
The Peace of Prague (1635) ended most religious aspects of the war, and theFrench?Habsburg rivalry took over prominence. With between 4.5 million and 8 million deadin the Thirty Years' War alone, and decades of constant warfare, the need for peace became
increasingly clear.
The Peace of Westphalia is the collective name for two peace treaties signed in October1648 in the Westphalian cities of Osnabrück and Münster. They ended the Thirty Years' War(1618?1648) and Eighty Years' War (1568?1648), and brought peace to the Holy Roman
Empire, closing a calamitous period of European history that killed approximately eight
million people. The Holy Roman Emperor, the Spanish Monarchy, the kingdoms of France andSweden, the United Provinces (Netherlands), and their respective allies among the princes ofthe Holy Roman Empire participated in these treaties.
The negotiation process was lengthy and complex. Talks took place in two cities,
because each side wanted to meet on territory under its own control. A total of 109
delegations arrived to represent the belligerent states, but not all delegations were present at
the same time. Two treaties were signed to end the war in the Empire: The Treaty of Münster
and the Treaty of Osnabrück. These treaties ended the Thirty Years' War in the Holy Roman
Empire, with the Habsburgs and their Catholic allies on one side, battling the Protestant
powers allied with France, which was Catholic but strongly anti-Habsburg under King Louis
XIV. The separate Peace of Münster ended the Eighty Years' War between Spain and theUnited Provinces.
I recently purchased the medal below. It is titled, The Peace of Westphalia and includes
some exquisite imagery and die engraving. This was an important event in the history ofEurope. Years of terror and war were, in theory, coming to an end and there was reason to be
hopeful. One result of this event was that the United Provinces were officially recognized as anation for the first time.
Scholars of international relations have identified the Peace of Westphalia as the originof principles crucial to modern international relations, including the inviolability of borders
and non-interference in the domestic affairs of sovereign states.

Dated 1648
By E. Ketteler
Weight: 36.4g
Diameter: 57.6mm
Schulman, Pax 96, Goppel 680
Obverse: ?alas, the lions joined together have come under the Lord's chariot?. Peace, holding
reins, winged caduceus, and cornucopia, driving chariot pulled by two crowned lions right,
one holding bundle of arrows in raised forepaw, the other holding a scepter; around, militaryand musical instruments cast aside; in two lines to right, PAX/HIS PANO BATAVA.
Reverse: ?The happiness of peace unto the Christian world, however devised or accomplishedby such kingdoms and provinces, either alone or by ocean, land, or sea, is the security of
public harmony, for which we hope and vow here in the monastery of Westphalia in the year
1648? in ten lines.
Based on a draft from the Spanish delegation, the Münster mint-master Ketteler
minted a medallion which shows the triumphal carriage of the goddess of peace being pulledby the Spanish and Dutch lions fighting spirit is transformed into a desire for peace.
On the eve of his departure, Peñaranda, leader of the Spanish delegation at the Peaceof Westphalia,wrote to Spanish nobleman Don Luis de Haro, enclosing a copy of the medal
which he and others had had designed and struck, at Münster , to celebrate the conclusion of
the Peace.
Fabio Chigi (later Pope Alexander VII) wrote in his diary on June 27, 1648, at his visit
with the Spanish chief diplomat Pe?aranda ?che fa donar miei una medaglia per uno della sua
pace di Olanda? (who gave me a medal on the peace with Holland ).
Little is known of the engraver, Engelbert Kettler. Forrer ?s Biographical Dictionary ofMedallists merely states that he was mint-master at Osnabruck in 1637 and Munster from1638-1656.
This medal has the distinction of being included in the exhibition (and subsequent5

book) ?50 Masterworks for the Golden Age? a collectionof Dutch medals from the 17th century.
