| Additional information |
Maximilian Emanuel of Bavaria governed the Spanish Netherlands — Namur included — as Governor-General, but by 1713 his political position was in freefall. His alliance with Louis XIV during the War of the Spanish Succession had ended in military disaster, and the Treaty of Utrecht that year formally transferred the Belgian provinces to Austrian Hapsburg control. These ecu were struck in the final window of his authority, making them effectively a farewell coinage — issued under a governor who had already lost the war that defined his tenure.
