Additional information

The sede vacante designation places this piece in the interregnum following the death of Bishop Otto II of Utrecht in 1227, during which the chapter governed the bishopric pending a new appointment. Episcopal minting rights in the Low Countries were fiercely guarded, and the chapter's decision to continue striking in their own authority — rather than suspend production — reflects the commercial pressure of Deventer's growing role as a Hanseatic trading center on the IJssel.
