| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays the Imperial orb — a cross-surmounted globe — set within a pointed Gothic trefoil formed by three interlocking cusped arches, the whole executed in high relief characteristic of late-medieval hammered goldgulden. The trefoil is enclosed within a double beaded inner circle, beyond which runs the circumferential legend in Gothic uncial lettering citing the titles of Emperor Maximilian I. The design follows the established Rhenish goldgulden tradition, with the orb serving as the dynastic and imperial emblem of the Holy Roman Empire. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Full-length facing figure of St. John the Baptist rendered in Gothic style, standing centrally and holding the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) before him — the traditional type of the Rhenish goldgulden patron saint. A small heraldic shield, serving as the Frankfurt mint mark, appears in the lower field beneath the figure. The legend surrounding the design in Gothic uncial script records the monetary inscription and date, including the Frankfurt mint attribution. The composition adheres closely to the standardised iconographic programme of the Frankfurt Imperial mint goldgulden. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Frankfurt's right to strike gold gulden was a jealously guarded civic privilege, and by 1512 the city's mint was operating under close imperial scrutiny. Maximilian I spent much of his later reign in chronic financial crisis, perpetually short of funds for his Italian campaigns and Habsburg dynastic ambitions, which made the output of imperial mints a matter of direct political concern rather than routine administration.
Fr#941 is scarce. Frankfurt's gold output in this period was modest compared to Cologne or Mainz.
