1 Goldgulden - Rupert I

Rupert I of the Palatinate was one of the four imperial electors who formed the Kurverein von Rhense in the mid-fourteenth century, a coalition that asserted the electors' exclusive right to choose the King of the Romans without papal confirmation. The goldgulden issued under his authority carried that political weight directly — Rhenish electoral gold coinage was as much a declaration of jurisdictional independence as it was a trade medium.

Felke 495 places this type within the broader Rhenish gulden coinage standardized by the 1386 Kurverein mint treaty, which fixed weight and fineness across the participating electorates.
