| Reverse description | Schematic architectural representation of the Collegiate Church of Our Lady (Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk) in Maastricht, depicted in a stylized Romanesque facade with towers, arched portals, and a central nave, characteristic of 12th-century ecclesiastical coinage from the Meuse valley region. The church facade is rendered frontally with flanking towers visible at left and right, and an arched entrance at the base. A partial Latin legend in the field identifies the dedication to Saint Mary. |

| Additional information |
Rudolph of Zähringen held the see of Liège from 1167 to 1191, appointed through the direct intervention of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa as part of his ongoing effort to install reliable imperial clients in key ecclesiastical territories along the Meuse corridor. The coinage struck in his name at Maastricht reflects that political arrangement — the city's mint operated under contested jurisdictional claims between the bishop and the chapter of Saint Servatius throughout this period.
Dengis 369 is among the scarcer attributable types of his episcopate.
