Denier - Henry II/III Bridge

The overlap in attribution between Henry II (d. 1248) and Henry III reflects a genuine scholarly dispute — the type's broad emission window straddles both reigns, and Witte's numbering does not resolve it cleanly. Brabant's deniers of this period circulated aggressively across the lower Rhine trade corridors, where Flemish, Lotharingian, and Brabantine issues competed with one another and with episcopal coinages from Liège and Utrecht.

The "Bridge" designation distinguishes this subtype within the Henry series by a specific reverse die element tied to local toll infrastructure — bridge revenues were a meaningful ducal income stream and occasionally prompted commemorative or associative coinage choices.
