| Beschrijving keerzijde | The capped arms of the Prince-Bishopric of Liege displayed on a shield, superimposed upon a crossed sword and crozier — symbols of temporal and spiritual authority — with decorative ornaments flanking the shield to the left, right, and below. The date is divided and incorporated into the legend field. The composition reflects the heraldic conventions typical of ecclesiastical coinage of the southern Low Countries in the early 17th century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ferdinand of Bavaria was appointed Prince-Bishop of Liège in 1612 through naked dynastic maneuvering by his family, who already held Cologne — giving the Wittelsbachs effective control over a chain of ecclesiastical territories along the Rhine. He was 26 and had no particular religious vocation. The florin series struck under his early reign reflects a functional need to maintain Liège's independent monetary presence against the gravitational pull of Habsburg-controlled coinage flooding the Spanish Netherlands.
The .986 fineness places this among the purer gold issues of the period, consistent with Florentine florin standards still observed in the ecclesiastical mints of the lower Rhine.
