Dutch goldsmiths rarely used the decorative technique shown here of setting silver coins into the surface, a custom more often found in Scandinavia or north Germany. A medallion has been set into the lid of this Dutch tankard commemorating the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, an event that concluded the Thirty Years War, which had devastated much of central Europe.
