| Aanvullende informatie |
Ernest of Bavaria became Prince-Bishop of Liège in 1581 through straightforward nepotism — his uncle, Cardinal William of Bavaria, engineered the appointment despite Ernest holding no serious ecclesiastical credentials. The *brûlé* designation refers not to the coin's condition but to its monetary fate: these copper fractions were formally demonetized and ordered burned ("brûlés") by later monetary edicts, accounting for their relative scarcity today.
The 1584 date places this piece squarely within the chaos of the early Dutch Revolt, when Spanish military movements through the region disrupted commerce and made small-denomination coinage essential for daily transactions.
