| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large pattee cross dominates the central field, its splayed arms nearly reaching the beaded inner circle. The surrounding Latin legend, IN x HOC x SIGNO x VINCES x 1517, translates as 'In this sign thou shalt conquer,' a motto of Constantinian origin widely employed on ecclesiastical coinage of the period. The date 1517 is incorporated into the legend, and the overall composition reflects the standard reverse type used for small hammered billon and copper denominations of the Prince-Bishopric of Liège. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Érard de la Marck held the Prince-Bishopric of Liège from 1505 until his death in 1538, making him one of the longest-serving and most politically active prince-bishops in the see's history — a close ally of the Habsburgs and a cardinal from 1521. The brûlé was a small copper denomination peculiar to the Liège monetary system, its name derived from the French for "burned," likely referencing the fiery cupellation or annealing processes associated with base-metal production. This half-denomination would have been the coin most handled by ordinary inhabitants of the prince-bishopric.
