| Additional information |
Adolphus I of Nassau held the Mainz archiepiscopal throne through one of the most turbulent stretches of the Great Schism, navigating competing papal obediences while still maintaining the mint rights that made Mainz one of the most productive ecclesiastical coin-issuing authorities in the Reich. The Rhenish goldgulden, of which this is a product, had been formally standardized by the Kurverein of 1386 — meaning pieces struck in the immediately preceding years like this one represent the pre-standardization output, before the four Rhenish electors locked in the precise weight and fineness that would govern the type for decades.
