This silver medal, created by Dutch artist Martin Holtzhey in 1744, depicts a seated figure of the goddess Salus, a symbol of health and wellbeing, holding a scepter and a laurel wreath. The inscription around her reads "Salus Publicae Calix Suprema", which translates to "The Supreme Cup of Public Health". The reverse side features a temple with an inscription above it "Ad Dantive Felicii Portarum", which translates to "To the Happy Gates of Peace". The medal, a small, round piece of art, only 2.8 cm in diameter, served as a symbolic hope for the end of the War of the Austrian Succession.
