| Additional information |
David of Burgundy, bishop of Utrecht from 1456 to 1496, was an illegitimate son of Philip the Good and spent much of his episcopate locked in conflict with the city of Utrecht itself — a prolonged struggle that ended only after Habsburg intervention forced a settlement in 1483. His coinage reflects that complicated authority: the Bishopric retained its own mint rights even as Burgundian and later Habsburg influence tightened around the Low Countries.
The Delm. 875 reference places this among a loosely attributed cluster of small silver issues whose die relationships remain incompletely documented. The "KM# unclear" designation is honest — Low Countries ecclesiastical coinage of this period resists clean catalog assignment.
