4 Kreuzers Meat, Landmark Money, Böckstein

Böckstein was a mining settlement in the Gastein Valley, and the "Landmark Money" designation reflects a local scrip tradition tied to the salt and ore trade rather than general monetary circulation. These copper pieces functioned as a controlled medium within a defined economic zone — the bishopric issuing them had every incentive to keep value, and labor, from leaking across jurisdictional borders. The "Meat" denomination is not decorative nomenclature; it indicates the commodity against which this token's purchasing power was pegged or redeemable within the local provisioning system.

Archbishop Paris Lodron, who governed Salzburg from 1619 to 1653, oversaw a remarkable expansion of such localized monetary instruments during the Thirty Years' War, when disruption to broader coinage supply made internal scrip politically and logistically necessary.
