1/4 Gros - John of Bavaria 1st type

John of Bavaria's tenure as Count of Luxembourg was itself a dynastic accident — he acquired the county through his wife Elisabeth of Görlitz, who had received it from her uncle Emperor Sigismund in 1411. The couple ruled jointly in name, but Elisabeth's political maneuvering dominated the administration. This fractional issue belongs to a period when Luxembourg's small-denomination silver was being struck to serve local market circulation rather than any broader monetary ambition, and John's relatively brief effective authority over the mint makes surviving attributable examples genuinely scarce.
