| Additional information |
Ulrich II von Manderscheid-Schleiden held the archbishopric under contested circumstances — his election in 1430 was disputed by Raban von Helmstatt, triggering a prolonged schism that left Trier administratively fractured for years. Pope Martin V initially refused to confirm either candidate. Ulrich ultimately prevailed through imperial backing, but his tenure was shaped by that foundational instability.
Heller coinage from this period functioned primarily in local petty commerce and rarely traveled far. The six-year window of issue makes die attribution tricky; Noss catalogued significant variation within this type.
