| Additional information |
Gerlach of Nassau served as Archbishop of Mainz from 1346 until his death in 1371, presiding during a period when the Rhenish electoral princes were actively coordinating gold coinage policy. The Rhenish Gulden union of 1354 — an agreement among Mainz, Trier, Cologne, and the Palatinate to standardize weight and fineness — directly shaped the parameters to which this piece was struck.
Felke 140 places this emission in the final years of Gerlach's tenure, after a 1365 revision to the union's standards reduced the weight slightly from earlier gulden issues.
