The medal was established on February 1, 1833 by King Frederick William III. The Medal "For Salvation from Mortal Danger," established back in 1802, was established as the highest level in order to be able to show its merits externally. (The medal, donated in 1802, was not portable and was considerably larger.) These medals were awarded to persons who endangered themselves in order to save and help fellow citizens. For particularly excellent assistance, then a small portable medal was awarded. Medals were subject to return in the event of the death of the awarded. Starting in 1906, relatives of the victims could purchase the medal.
During the rental, 4 different models were minted. One difference is the spelling of King, with -O- on the last 3 models and once with -OE- on the 1st model. The upper end of the inscription was used as a star, on the 1st embossing, as a cross of 4 balls, on the 2nd embossing, or as an outlet of 6 balls, on the 3rd and 4th. Embossing by embossing.
