| Additional information |
The Duchy of Brabant's deniers of this period were struck during a prolonged contest between ducal authority and the powerful ecclesiastical lordships encroaching on Brabantine territory. Henry II and Henry III issued coinage that was deliberately continuous in type — a calculated move to project monetary stability while the duchy was consolidating its commercial dominance over the cloth trade routes between Bruges and the Rhineland.
The Witte 146 attribution covers a span of nearly three decades precisely because die evidence cannot reliably distinguish between the two reigns.
