| Additional information |
John I of Cleves issued this groschen during a period when Rhenish territorial lords were actively competing with episcopal mints for commercial dominance along the Rhine trade routes. The tournois format — borrowed from the French gros tournois and transmitted through the Low Countries — was by the mid-fourteenth century already a generation old as a regional convention, but Cleves adopted it relatively late compared to neighboring Gelre and Jülich.
Noss Kl#49c is one of several die variants within this type, distinguished in the Noss classification by armorial detail differences.
