| Obverse description | Central field features the crowned arms of the Prince-Bishopric of Liège — a quartered shield displaying the Liège perron and the arms of the Berghes family — surmounted by an elaborate episcopal crown with flanking decorative mantling. The shield is set within an ornate cartouche of Renaissance scrollwork. The surrounding circular legend in Latin reads: ROBERTVS * A * BERGIS * EPS * LEODI, identifying Robert de Berghes as Bishop of Liège. The coin was struck by the hammered method, giving the type characteristic irregular flan edges typical of mid-sixteenth-century Low Countries coinage. |
