| Additional information |
David of Burgundy, illegitimate son of Philip the Good, was imposed on the Utrecht see in 1456 after a prolonged power struggle that required direct Burgundian military intervention to resolve. His tenure was defined by that same dynastic pressure — he governed as much as a Burgundian political instrument as a bishop, and his coinage reflects it. The Jager series, named for the hunter motif, was minted in fractional denominations to address chronic small-change shortages in the Rhine-Meuse trade corridor during the 1470s.
The three KM subtypes distinguish minor die variations in the arms configuration, catalogued separately by Van Gelder and Hoc.
