| Additional information |
Godfrey of Rhenen held the bishopric of Utrecht from 1156 until his death in 1178, a tenure marked by persistent conflict with the counts of Guelders and Holland over territorial jurisdiction in the Rhine delta. The Utrecht mint was among the most active ecclesiastical mints in the Low Countries during this period, operating under imperial privilege granted decades earlier.
The vdChijs reference places this among a small cluster of deniers attributable to Godfrey's reign by die linkage rather than explicit inscription — the attribution rests on numismatic sequence, not documentary confirmation.
