| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays a quartered heraldic shield combining the arms of Burgundy and the Bishopric of Utrecht, crowned and set within a reeded inner circle. The shield is divided by a bold cross, with the Burgundy bendlet arms occupying two quarters and the Utrecht ecclesiastical arms the remaining quarters. The surrounding legend in Gothic uncial characters reads the bishop's name and title. The entire design is framed by a beaded border typical of late medieval Flemish-Burgundian ecclesiastical coinage. The hammered flan exhibits characteristic irregular edges and uneven relief. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
David of Burgundy was appointed Bishop of Utrecht in 1456 by his half-brother Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy — a nakedly political move that brought the wealthy and strategically vital bishopric under effective Burgundian control. The appointment was contested; the cathedral chapter had elected someone else, and papal intervention was required to install David. This coin is among the earliest issues of his episcopate, struck within a year of that disputed installation.
Utrecht's mint was among the more active ecclesiastical mints in the Low Countries, and David's coinage generally aligns with the monetary reforms Philip the Good was simultaneously imposing across his territorial holdings.
