2½ Stuivers "Braspenning" - Frederick of Baden

Frederick of Baden held the bishopric of Utrecht under near-constant political siege — his tenure was defined less by ecclesiastical administration than by his entanglement in the dynastic conflicts between the Habsburgs and the Guelders faction under Charles of Egmond. The braspenning denomination itself was a Low Countries workhorse, circulating alongside Burgundian issues in a monetary environment where ecclesiastical and secular coinages traded interchangeably in daily commerce.

Utrecht's mint rights, jealously maintained by the bishops despite repeated imperial pressure to consolidate Low Countries coinage, kept issues like this one flowing even as Frederick's political position deteriorated through the first decade of the sixteenth century.
