The “Salvator medals” of Vienna were instituted by the City Council in 1575 and were created as New Year’s gifts to high ranking and important officials. These high-value gifts were a significant supplement to the recipient’s income, and as such straddle the border between medallic issues and circulating coinage. The practice continued well into the 19th century.
