In the section Low Countries, Feudal / Liege, Prince-Bishopric, the earliest currency we have in the catalog is Florin (1456-1545).

I am beginning to extend the catalog for this issuer back to the 11th century, so we will eventually need an earlier currency to cover these entries (for now I am listing the currency as unknown).

I am not sure if earlier coinage was based on the Groot / Gros (by analogy to nearby states like Brabant and Namur), or if the earliest years were based on the Penning / Denier.

Thanks in advance!
A more specific proposal, since we now have a large section of "Unspecified Currency" entries for Liege.
Currency = Denier (975-1274)
Currency = Gros (1274-1456)

Although I don't have a reference to confirm these dates, the evidence that this is a reasonable proposal :
- only deniers are issued from the start of the prince-bishopric in 975 through the reign of Henry of Gueldre (ends 1274)
- beginning with the reign of John of Flanders (starts 1282) fractional gros coins like esterlins (=1/3) and a little later, double esterlins (2/3) and gros are struck (and the end date of 1456 because we have the Florin starting 1456)
- this would also coincide closely with the timing of currency change in German States / Aachen, https://en.numista.com/catalogue/etats_allemands-1.html#c_aachen_free_imperial_city6118 which was the nearest bishopric in the Lower Rhine - Westphalian circle

If more accurate date ranges are determined later, we can modify.

Thank you! Of course this means your inbox will soon be full of modification requests :) (I will also fine tune some titles, and improve the catalog references and legends as appropriate)
