1 Goldgulden - Werner of Falkenstein

Werner of Falkenstein held the archbishopric of Trier from 1388 to 1418, one of the longer tenures of the period, but his goldgulden production fell squarely within the years when the Rhenish electors were actively coordinating mint policy through a series of currency treaties — the Münzvereine — designed to stabilize the weight and fineness of gold coinage across the Rhine valley. Trier, as one of the four Rhenish electoral mints, was bound by these agreements, which is precisely why this piece conforms so closely to the Rhenish gulden standard.

Felke 608 is a well-documented variety within the Falkenstein series; Noss Tr#228 places it in the later portion of the five-year window, based on die linkage evidence.
