| Additional information |
Theodoric II of Moers held the archbishopric of Cologne from 1414 to 1463, one of the longer tenures of the period, but his early years were defined by financial strain and the political maneuvering required to consolidate control over a diocese with fragmented territorial authority. The Riehl mint — located on the Rhine between Cologne and Bonn — operated under archiepiscopal privilege and served partly to assert that authority in coin form along a critical commercial waterway.
The Felke and Noss references remain the standard catalogues for Rhenish ecclesiastical gold of this period, and the Noss Co II#291 attribution places this squarely within the early Theodoric II sequence.
