| Beschrijving voorzijde | Schematized bust of Emperor Henry II facing left, rendered in the crude yet expressive style typical of early eleventh-century Ottonian coinage. The effigy is depicted with simplified facial features, the eye rendered as a prominent raised pellet, and the head surrounded by stylized linear hair or crown elements. A circular Latin legend encircles the central device within the coin's irregular flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Henry II was the last Ottonian emperor, crowned by Pope Benedict VIII in 1014 — the same year this coinage authority at Liège was active. The Liège mint operated under episcopal oversight, the Bishop of Liège holding minting rights granted by the imperial court, a arrangement that made Mosan deniers simultaneously imperial and ecclesiastical instruments of exchange.
Henry died without an heir in 1024, ending the Ottonian line and precipitating the election of Conrad II, the first Salian emperor.
