| Aversbeschreibung | Central quartered shield of arms set within a trefoil frame, displaying the heraldic devices of the Archbishopric of Cologne and the House of Moers. The shield is surmounted by a gothic architectural canopy element. A circular legend in uncial Gothic script runs along the periphery, separated from the central device by a beaded inner border. The overall die work is characteristic of mid-fifteenth-century Rhenish hammered coinage. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Full-length frontal figure of Saint Heribert, patron of Cologne, depicted in episcopal vestments with miter, raising his right hand in benediction and holding a crozier in his left hand. The saint stands within a plain inner field, his robes rendered with fine drapery detail typical of late medieval die engraving. A circular legend in uncial Gothic script encircles the figure, invoking the saint by name and title. The composition follows the established iconographic tradition of the Cologne archiepiscopal coinage of the period. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Theodoric II of Moers spent much of his tenure fighting to hold Cologne at all. His predecessor and kinsman Dietrich II had been deposed, and Theodoric's own position remained contested through prolonged conflict with the chapter and rival claimants. The Postulatsgulden designation itself signals the ambiguity: a "postulat" issue was struck by a bishop-elect whose papal confirmation was still pending or disputed, giving the coin a quasi-legitimate character that reflected precisely the instability of his hold on the see.
The half-denomination is considerably scarcer than the full Goldgulden of this type. Noss's cataloguing of the Cologne archiepiscopal series remains the foundational reference, with Felke corroborating the attribution to this narrow five-year window.
