Beschrijving keerzijde St. John the Baptist depicted standing facing, nimbed, robed in a long garment, and holding attributes consistent with his iconography. The figure is rendered in the flat, linear style characteristic of late medieval Rhenish goldgulden. A beaded inner border separates the central figure from the surrounding circular legend in uncial script.

Aanvullende informatie

Rupert III of the Palatinate had himself elected German King in 1400 — the same year the Rhenish Electors deposed Wenceslaus IV for incompetence — and immediately needed coinage that projected royal authority. This gulden dates to his early reign, when his hold on the kingship was contested and financially precarious. His Italian campaign of 1401–1402, an attempt to secure imperial coronation from Pope Boniface IX, collapsed expensively at Brescia, draining the Palatinate treasury and making issues from this precise year politically charged artifacts of a failed bid for the imperial crown.
