Opname der Salzburger emigranten in Pruisen 1732

This silver medal, created in 1732 by an anonymous artist, commemorates the emigration of Salzburg Protestants to Prussia. The obverse depicts a group of individuals being welcomed to a new land, likely Prussia. The inscription, "Gotland, ein Ort bereit von Gott," translates to "Gotland, a place prepared by God." The reverse features a scene of construction, possibly the building of a new community or settlement, with the inscription "Gott fodere das werk in meiner hande" meaning "God, help the work in my hand." The medal is a powerful symbol of faith and resilience, highlighting the challenges and opportunities faced by the Salzburg emigrants.
