| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Maximilian Henry of Bavaria facing right, depicted in ecclesiastical robes with a clerical collar, his hair falling in loose curls to the shoulder in the baroque fashion. The effigy is rendered in high relief with fine portraiture detail typical of 17th-century Low Countries coinage. The circumferential Latin legend runs along the upper rim, while the date 1670 appears in the lower field beneath the bust. The coin's edge is bordered by a beaded inner circle. |

The shield incorporates the arms of Bouillon in an inescutcheon. The continuous Latin legend encircles the design within a beaded border, recording Maximilian Henry's titles as Prince-Bishop of Liege and Duke of Bouillon. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
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.
