Ecumenical Medal of the Baroque

I left this remarkable medal, by P. H. Muller, for the last. I would not have thought to see something like this out of Germany, around 1700. Not sure if it is from Bavaria or Augsburg, or somewhere else. The ostensible theme, from the obverse, is that "We are all G-D's children." Even the rim reflects the theme, "Vater las den kreis der erden umb und umb voll segens werden." (freakin' spell correct drove me nuts for that last). Father, let the circle of the earth be fully blessed around and around.
