| Additional information |
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 from archiepiscopal authority. The goldgulden issues of his tenure were minted not at Cologne but at outlying ecclesiastical mints, a consequence of the city's refusal to recognize his temporal jurisdiction within its walls.
The Felke 1237 attribution places this among the later groupings of his coinage, struck during a period when Theodoric was simultaneously navigating the turbulent aftermath of the Council of Basel.
