| Additional information |
George Gustav ruled Palatinate-Veldenz for just over two decades, inheriting a territory so financially exhausted by the divisions of the Wittelsbach inheritance that small silver bracteates like this one were among the few coins the county could realistically produce. Veldenz's minting activity in this period was sporadic and small in volume, which accounts for the scarcity of attributed pieces today.
