Beschrijving voorzijde Full-length frontal figure of Saint Heribert, Archbishop of Cologne, depicted in pontifical vestments and mitre, holding a crozier in his right hand. The saint stands in a rigid, hieratic pose within an inner beaded border, his robes rendered in fine hammered relief characteristic of late medieval Rhenish goldsmithing. A Latin legend in uncial script encircles the figure within the outer border.

Aanvullende informatie

Theodoric II of Moers was never formally confirmed by Rome — his archiepiscopate was contested from the start, with Pope Pius II refusing to ratify his election. The "Postulatsgulden" designation reflects exactly this: a coin issued by a postulant, a claimant pending papal approval, giving this half-gulden a constitutional ambiguity that few ecclesiastical issues carry. Cologne's chapter had elected him, but the Holy See had other candidates in mind.

Noss catalogued this as a variant of the standard type, the Fr#797a designation separating it from the more frequently encountered full gulden of the same issuing authority.
