| Additional information |
Ferdinand of Bavaria became Prince-Bishop of Liège in 1612 through naked dynastic maneuvering — he was already Archbishop-Elector of Cologne, and accumulating Liège added another wealthy ecclesiastical territory to Wittelsbach control in the Lower Rhine region. The lion daler denomination itself was a southern Netherlands accounting unit being progressively formalized into struck coinage during this period, with the 30-patard valuation anchoring it to local monetary conventions rather than the imperial thaler standard.
Delmonte's cataloguing of this type notes significant die variation across the series.
