| Additional information |
Wilbrand van Oldenburg served as Bishop of Utrecht from 1227 to 1233, a tenure defined largely by conflicts with the Count of Holland over territorial jurisdiction in the western reaches of the diocese. The Deventer mint had operated under episcopal authority for well over a century by this point, and penningen of this type circulated primarily in the market economy of the IJssel towns rather than as instruments of ecclesiastical finance.
Vanhoudt G. 104 is among the thinner series from this reign, reflecting the general debasement trend in Low Countries episcopal silver through the second quarter of the thirteenth century.
