Beschrijving voorzijde Standing figure of Saint John the Baptist facing, holding a tall cross-staff; the Bavarian lozengy arms appear between his legs, with a two-headed imperial eagle at the end of the encircling Gothic legend. The design is rendered in the bold, linear style characteristic of late 14th-century Rhenish goldgulden coinage. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded inner circle and a Gothic letter legend.

Beschrijving keerzijde A quartered heraldic shield bearing the arms of the Palatinate, set within a Gothic trefoil frame; small annulets ornament the corners between the trefoil lobes. A Gothic inscription in Latin encircles the entire design, contained between a beaded inner circle and the coin's irregular hammered edge. The bold, flat relief of the shield and the delicate trefoil framing are consistent with the Rhenish goldgulden tradition of the late 14th century.

Aanvullende informatie

Rupert II ruled the Electoral Palatinate from 1390 until his death in 1398, a period during which the Rhenish goldgulden had become the dominant trade coin of the Holy Roman Empire — largely through the cooperative monetary policy of the Rhenish Electoral League, which Palatinate actively shaped. The League's 1386 mint treaty standardized the goldgulden's fineness and weight across the participating electorates, which is precisely why this coin exists to the specification it does.

Freigold issues attributable to Rupert II are scarcer than those of his successor Rupert III, who became King of the Romans in 1400 and struck in considerably larger volumes.
