1 Goldgulden - Otto of Ziegenhain

Otto von Ziegenhain served as Archbishop of Trier from 1418 until his death in 1430, a tenure defined largely by his role in the Hussite crisis. He was among the ecclesiastical princes who pushed hardest for the Council of Basel and maintained an uneasy political balance between the Emperor Sigismund and the reformist pressures sweeping the Rhineland. Rhenish goldgulden of this period circulated heavily across the Frankfurt trade routes, and Trier's archiepiscopal mint at Koblenz was one of the four original members of the Rhenish Mint Union — an alliance dating to 1386 that enforced strict weight and fineness standards across participating mints.

The Felke 1101 attribution places this among the later emissions of Otto's coinage, distinguished by specific die characteristics documented by Noss.
