Penny / Denier - Rudolph of Zaeringen Liege, lion

Rudolph of Zähringen held the see of Liège from 1167 to 1191 as an imperial appointment — he was a member of the powerful Zähringen dynasty, a house that controlled substantial territory in Burgundy and the upper Rhine, and his elevation to one of the richest ecclesiastical principalities in the Low Countries reflected Frederick Barbarossa's strategy of placing reliable dynasts in key imperial sees. The Prince-Bishopric struck its own coinage by long-established right, and issues from Rudolph's tenure sit at a transitional moment in Mosan minting practice.

Dengis 364 is among the scarcer attributions in the Liège denier sequence.
