| Aversbeschreibung | Within a plain inner circle, a lion sejant facing left, draped in a cape decorated with the quartered arms of Bavaria-Palatinate, rendered in the bold, somewhat schematic style characteristic of late medieval Liégeois coinage. The heraldic lion occupies the full field, its crowned head turned to the viewer's left and its forelegs raised. A circular legend in uncial Gothic characters runs between the inner circle and the outer beaded border, separated by pellets. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
John of Bavaria never actually became bishop through ecclesiastical merit — he was elected Prince-Bishop of Liège in 1389 at around age fourteen, a purely dynastic appointment engineered by his father, Duke Albert I of Bavaria. The Liégeois chafed under his secular, autocratic rule, and his tenure was marked by repeated armed conflicts with the city's guilds and communes, culminating in the Battle of Othée in 1408, where John crushed the rebel burghers with Burgundian assistance at considerable cost in local lives.
The "Botdrager" type takes its popular name from the Flemish term for a messenger or courier — regional coinage nicknames of this period often referenced the coin's practical role in daily commerce rather than its issuing authority.
