| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field features a heraldic shield bearing three bells or crozier-heads (the arms of the de Hornes family), surmounted by a ornate Gothic mitre with lappets, all within a beaded inner circle decorated with Gothic floral or foliate ornaments at the quarters. The outer legend, in uncial Gothic lettering with star stops, carries the Vulgate scriptural motto invoking divine protection. The reverse design exemplifies the ecclesiastical heraldic tradition of late medieval Low Countries coinage, with the bishop's personal arms prominently displayed as the central motif. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
John of Hornes governed the Prince-Bishopric of Liège from 1484 until his death in 1505, a tenure defined less by ecclesiastical concerns than by constant friction with the Habsburgs and the persistent instability of the lower Meuse region. Liège had already been devastated by Charles the Bold's punitive campaigns of the 1460s, and the recovery of its minting activity under John reflects a deliberate reassertion of episcopal prerogative in monetary affairs.
The patard denomination itself was a product of Burgundian monetary reform, making Liège's adoption of it somewhat ironic given the diocese's antagonistic relationship with Burgundian authority.
