| Obverse description | Full-length figure of St. Peter standing facing, robed, holding a key in his right hand and a book (bible) in his left; the heraldic arms of Jülich — a crowned lion rampant — displayed at his feet. The composition follows the Gothic style typical of Rhenish goldgulden of the early fifteenth century, with the saint rendered in the field within a linear inner circle. A Latin uncial legend surrounds the central design. |

| Additional information |
Reinald II of Jülich issued this goldgulden during a period when Rhenish princes were under sustained pressure to conform their gold coinage to the standards set by the Kurverein monetary agreements. The County of Jülich, positioned between the major Rhenish electoral territories, had both economic incentive and political motivation to produce gold of acceptable fineness — acceptance in regional trade depended on it. The two-year window of 1419–1420 is tight, and the Noss attribution to JMA#173 helps anchor this type within the documented sequence of Jülich gold issues.
