| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a full-length frontal effigy of Saint Lawrence, the patron saint of Nuremberg, standing erect in clerical vestments and holding a gridiron — the instrument of his martyrdom — in his left hand and a book of the Gospels in his right. The figure is rendered in the Gothic style typical of early 15th-century Rhenish goldgulden, with fine drapery detail visible despite the limitations of the hammered technique. A beaded inner circle frames the saintly figure, while the surrounding legend S LAVRENCIVS is inscribed in Latin uncial script between the inner border and the coin's outer edge. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nuremberg's goldgulden production in the early fifteenth century operated under a licensing framework tied to the imperial mints, with the city periodically negotiating — and occasionally flouting — its striking privileges with the Habsburgs and their predecessors. The 1429 issue falls during a period of intense commercial activity along the north-south trading routes the city dominated, when Nuremberg merchants demanded reliable gold coinage that Rhenish gulden from ecclesiastical mints could not always supply in sufficient quantity.
Fr#1802 is a recognized rarity in Friedberg's corpus of German gold, with surviving examples thin on the ground in any condition.
