1 Gold Florin - Ferdinand of Bavaria

Ferdinand of Bavaria held the Prince-Bishopric of Liège from 1612 until his death in 1650, simultaneously accumulating ecclesiastical titles across the Holy Roman Empire — he was also Archbishop-Elector of Cologne, Bishop of Hildesheim, Bishop of Paderborn, and Bishop of Münster. This concentration of benefices in a single Wittelsbach hand was a deliberate dynastic strategy, and the florin coinages struck across his various territories reflect the administrative complexity of managing multiple mints under one lord. The 1619 date places this issue in the year after the Defenestration of Prague, on the eve of a war that would devastate much of Ferdinand's broader territorial sphere.
