On August 22, 1920, director Max Reinhardt staged for the first time the play of Hofmannsthal Jedermann , in the Domplatz (Cathedral Square) of Salzburg and, in doing so, founded the Salzburg Festival. Since 1926, the work has been a classic of the festival program, a tradition interrupted only during the Nazi regime. Those who represent or direct Jedermann at the Domplatz in Salzburg may consider that they have reached the peak of their career.
In addition to Max Reinhardt and Hugo von Hofmannsthal, composer Richard Strauss also participated in the foundation of this magnificent celebration of the performing arts, which did not take long to establish and achieve world renown. In Salzburg, the best is often not good enough. This gives cultural relevance to the festival, which comes from its strength of tradition, but also allows new directions to be explored and puts the vanguard center on stage.
The coin for the hundredth birthday of the most famous festival in the world is as unique as the Salzburg Festival itself. Never before has the Austrian Mint issued a currency with these forms.
The face of the coin is characterized by a concave edge, which is provided with a radial structure. You can see two masks inside, they represent the two basic forms of drama: the mask on the left represents the tragedy. The mask on the right embodies comedy.
The other side consists of a convex edge and a flat internal part. Some places are printed in red. Stylized masks are shown, a violin cutout and a peace dove with an olive branch on its beak on the right edge of the coin.
