| Obverse description | Central field features the crowned coat of arms of Maximilian Henry of Bavaria, Prince-Bishop of Liège, displaying the quartered escutcheon with the arms of Bavaria (lozengy) prominently rendered in relief. The shield is surmounted by an ecclesiastical crown. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery, reading MAX HEN D G ARC COL, abbreviating the ruler's titles as Archbishop of Cologne by the grace of God. The overall style is characteristic of mid-to-late 17th-century Liégeois copper coinage, with a somewhat irregular flan typical of hammered production. |
