Reverse description Crowned five-fold quartered heraldic shield occupying the central field, surmounted by an elaborate princely crown with two visible arches and a central orb. The date 1690 is divided and placed above the crown in the upper field. The circumferential Latin legend, running along the toothed border and divided by the shield, enumerates the prince-bishop's secular titles as Duke of Bouillon, Marquess of Franchimont, Count of Looz and Hornes.
