| Reverse description | Central field bears the quartered coat of arms of the County of Loon (Looz), surmounted by a mitre and enclosed within an oval or pointed shield, as befitting the heraldic tradition of the Prince-Bishops of Liege. The surrounding Latin legend reads EPIS. LEODIEN. V. BAVA. DVX. C. LO, proclaiming Ernest's titles as Bishop of Liege, Duke of Bavaria, and Count of Loon. The shield's quarters display the armorial bearings associated with the Wittelsbach dynasty and the see of Liege, executed in the hammered style with characteristic relief variation. The coin's surface shows extensive patination and wear consistent with extended circulation in copper. |
