| Beschrijving voorzijde | Frontal enthroned figure of Archbishop Balduin of Luxemburg, depicted in full ecclesiastical vestments including a mitre, seated on a throne and holding a crozier in his right hand; the composition is rendered in the flat, stylized Gothic manner typical of early 14th-century Rhenish hammered coinage. The figure is set within a beaded inner circle, with fragmentary legend elements distributed in the surrounding field. The striking is characteristic of medieval hand-hammered technique, resulting in slight irregularity of the flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Balduin of Luxembourg held the archbishopric of Trier for an extraordinary 54 years — the longest reign of any Trier archbishop — and spent much of it as one of the most consequential political operators in the Holy Roman Empire. As the younger brother of Emperor Henry VII and uncle of Charles IV, he leveraged ecclesiastical office into secular power with unusual effectiveness, including a pivotal role in the 1338 Declaration of Rhense, which asserted the electors' right to choose a king without papal confirmation. These small silver issues funded an archbishop who was, in practical terms, a kingmaker.
