Opname der Salzburger emigranten in Pruisen 1732

This silver medal, created in 1732 by Peter Paul Werner, commemorates the acceptance of Salzburg Protestant refugees in Prussia. The obverse depicts a profile portrait of King Frederick William I, while the reverse shows a group of refugees entering Prussian territory, led by a figure representing Prussia. The medal was likely created to celebrate the act of accepting the refugees and the King's generosity. This small yet intricate artwork is a testament to the historical event of the Salzburg Emigration and the role of Prussia in offering sanctuary.
