Ducat - Maximilian Henry of Bavaria

Maximilian Henry of Bavaria held the see of Liège as a political appointment rather than a spiritual one — a Wittelsbach placed there to anchor Bavarian and Habsburg influence in the Lower Rhine. He simultaneously held the archbishopric of Cologne, making him one of the more powerful ecclesiastical princes in the Empire while remaining, by most accounts, thoroughly uninterested in his dioceses. The Prince-bishopric's gold output during his tenure was modest, struck for prestige and diplomatic exchange rather than any pressing commercial need.

Delmonte's attribution G#358 places this among the scarcer documented Liège ducats of the period.
