1 Goldgulden - Theodoric II of Moers Riehl

Theodoric II of Moers held the archbishopric of Cologne from 1414 to 1463 — one of the longest episcopates of the fifteenth century — and spent much of it in open conflict with the city of Cologne itself, which repeatedly asserted its independence against archiepiscopal authority. The goldgulden issues of his reign were struck not in Cologne proper but at Riehl, a mint the archbishops controlled precisely because the city often refused them access to its own facilities.
