Bracteat

Utrecht's episcopal bracteates of this period are curiosities in the broader Low Countries minting tradition — thin, single-die struck pieces that were already an anachronism by the late fifteenth century, when most minting authorities had long moved toward thicker, double-sided coinage. Their continued production under the Bishopric likely reflects local small-denomination convention rather than any administrative innovation. The copper composition places this outside the silver bracteate tradition entirely.
