Additional information

Werner of Falkenstein served as Archbishop of Trier from 1388 until his death in 1418, navigating one of the most fractious periods in Church history — the Western Schism, during which rival popes simultaneously claimed authority from Rome and Avignon. As one of the seven Imperial Electors, Werner's political weight was considerable; he participated in the electoral maneuvering that eventually produced Sigismund as King of Germany in 1411. Goldgulden of this type functioned as instruments of electoral diplomacy as much as ordinary currency.

The Noss Tr#308 classification distinguishes this emission from adjacent issues within Werner's long archiepiscopal mint sequence.
