Additional information

Rupert I ruled the Electoral Palatinate for nearly four decades and was among the more politically consequential Rhenish princes of the fourteenth century — a key architect of the Golden Bull of 1356, which codified the electoral college and formally entrenched Palatine voting rights within the Holy Roman Empire. This pfennig was struck somewhere within that long reign, and the narrow dating window is itself telling: die studies on Rhenish bracteate-influenced pfennigs of this period rarely permit tighter attribution without hoard provenance.
