| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field features a displayed eagle with spread wings, its breast bearing an inescutcheon with the arms of the Sticht of Utrecht — a quartered shield — positioned below the eagle. The eagle and shield together divide the two concentric legend bands, the inner legend separated from the outer by a beaded circle. The composition is rendered in the bold, stylized Gothic manner typical of hammered episcopal silver of the early 15th century. Small floral or rosette stops punctuate the legends in the outer ring. The reverse design combines imperial symbolism with local episcopal heraldry in a format common to the Low Countries groot series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Frederik van Blankenheim held the see of Utrecht for three decades, an unusually long tenure that coincided with the deepest turbulence of the Western Schism — a period when even episcopal minting authority became a political tool, with coin types signaling allegiance as much as facilitating trade. The bishopric's mint output under Blankenheim was substantial and varied, with the dubbele groot among the more frequently encountered denominations from his reign.
The multiple vdChielen references reflect genuine die variation across the issue rather than cataloging error — not surprising for a thirty-year production run.
