Comment
Imitation of the coinage of the bishopric of Utrecht (see link below).
Udo, commander (vogt) in Aurich for his father the chieftain Focko, became chieftain in Norden through his wedding with Hyma Idzinga in 1421.
Interesting fact
The 1 Goldgulden coin from East Frisia Chieftains (East Frisia, German States) made of Gold weighing 3.48 g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Udo ND (1421-1433) and features the image of a crowned lion on its obverse side, symbolizing the power and authority of the ruler.
