| Additional information |
George of Austria, illegitimate son of Emperor Maximilian I, held the Prince-bishopric of Liège from 1544 until his death in 1557 — one of several imperial appointments that consolidated Habsburg influence over the wealthy Meuse valley territories. His tenure coincided with the broader Habsburg-Valois conflicts that repeatedly disrupted the Low Countries, straining the local economy and driving demand for reliable silver fractional coinage.
The Dengis 900 reference places this among the documented issues of his episcopate, though die varieties across the thirteen-year reign are not uniformly catalogued.
