GERMANY. Prussia. Peace of Hubertusburg/Friedrich II "the Great" Silver Medal, 1763. PCGS AU-55 Gold Shield. Pax in Nummis-603; Olding-678; Henckel-1656; Marienburg-4766. By N. Georgi. Obverse: Laureate and armored bust right; Reverse: Three crowned and garlanded shields. Lightly toned throughout, with a good deal of lustrous brilliance remaining and offering charming, problem free surfaces. Sometimes referred to as 'World War Zero,' given its scale overall number of belligerent powers, the Seven Years' War began primarily with Austria's desire to recover Silesia from the Kingdom of Prussia. Since Great Britain had been aiming to increase her colonial possessions in the new world at the expense of France, the strife in the American theater began to merge with that in Europe, resulting in a legitimate global conflict, with every major European power taking the side of either Great Britain/Prussia or France/Austria. In addition to North America and Europe, skirmishes also played out in Central America, the western coast of Africa, India, and the Philippines. Ultimately, a peace was achieved through the Treaty of Paris, formally ending all conflicts save for the Silesian question; the Treaty of Hubertusburg, signed five days later, ended the issue between Prussia and Austria, formally ending the war.
