Beschrijving keerzijde A long cross pattée extends to the inner circle, dividing the reverse field into four quarters. Two rampant lions are placed in opposing angles of the cross, with the remaining two angles left plain. The circular legend in uncial script names the issuing authority. The overall composition is characteristic of the Franco-Flemish ecclesiastical coinage tradition of the late 14th century, with the cross serving as both a religious and heraldic device.

Aanvullende informatie

John of Bavaria was never actually ordained — he held the Prince-bishopric of Liège from 1389 purely as a territorial and political appointment, backed by his family's Wittelsbach muscle, while remaining a layman for most of his tenure. The brûlé takes its name from its fire-blackened appearance, a result of deliberate surface treatment during striking rather than post-mint damage, a low-value issue meant to flood local markets as small change during a period of chronic petty-coin shortage in the Meuse valley.
