Penny / Denier - John of Aps Tongeren

John of Aps served as Prince-Bishop of Liège during a period of sustained conflict with the Duke of Brabant, and his coinage reflects the fractured monetary environment of the lower Meuse valley in the 1230s — multiple ecclesiastical and secular lords issuing small silver deniers in close geographic proximity, each asserting independent minting rights. The Prince-Bishopric's authority to strike coin derived from imperial grant, a privilege the see had held since the Ottonian period.

Dengis 448 is among the scarcer attributions in the Liège denier sequence for this reign.
