| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a nine-line inscription in Gothic blackletter script filling the entire field, rendered in the German vernacular. The text commemorates the Peace of Nijmegen (1678–1679) and addresses the city of Strasbourg directly, exhorting it to preserve the memory of peace and deliverance for future generations. The date 1679 appears in the lower exergue, marking the year of issue. The inscription is framed by the same decorative milled border present on the obverse. The overall layout is typical of the commemorative medal tradition of the Holy Roman Empire. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck to commemorate the Peace of Nijmegen, the cluster of treaties signed between 1678 and 1679 that ended the Franco-Dutch War — a conflict in which Louis XIV had marched French troops through Alsace and left Strasbourg acutely aware of its exposure on the Rhine frontier. The city's relief was genuine: French forces had bypassed Strasbourg itself, but surrounding territories were devastated.
The peace proved short-lived for the city. Just two years later, in 1681, Louis XIV seized Strasbourg outright during peacetime through a legal pretext, without a shot fired.
