| Additional information |
Adolph I of Nassau held the archbishopric of Mainz during one of the more turbulent stretches of Rhine electoral politics, and his gulden issues fall within the period when Mainz was actively asserting its position among the four electoral mints authorized under the Frankfurt Accord renewals of the 1370s. The Rhenish gulden struck by the electoral mints — Mainz, Trier, Cologne, and the Palatinate — were tightly regulated by inter-electoral monetary treaties, with fineness and weight periodically renegotiated to prevent debasement by any single party.
Felke 169 is among the scarcer of Adolph's documented gulden dies.
