| Beschrijving voorzijde | The arms of the La Marck family displayed on a quartered shield, featuring a lion passant in the upper dexter quarter and a checkered (vairy) pattern in the lower sinister quarter, all set within a quadrilobe formed by four pointed lobes. The shield is surrounded by an inner beaded border, with the circular Latin legend running between the beaded and outer borders. The overall composition is characteristic of early sixteenth-century ecclesiastical heraldic coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Erard of la Marck was not yet bishop when this coin was struck — he was a postulant, nominated to the see of Liège in 1505 but unable to receive full canonical confirmation until papal and imperial politics aligned in his favor. The "Postulate" designation on this issue reflects that precise ecclesiastical limbo, making it one of the rarer title-types in the Liège series, struck before his authority was fully ratified by Rome.
Erard would go on to become one of the most politically aggressive prince-bishops in Liège's history, a close ally of the Habsburgs and a persistent antagonist of Guelders.
