| Reverse description | Central field displays the quartered heraldic shield of Ernest of Bavaria as Prince-Bishop of Liege, surmounted by an ecclesiastical crown or mitre. The arms incorporate the devices associated with the see of Liege and the ducal territories. A circular Latin legend surrounds the shield, reading LEODIEN.DVX.BVLL.CO.LOSSE, identifying Ernest's additional dignities as Bishop of Liege, Duke of Bouillon, and Count of Loos. The overall design is typical of late 16th-century ecclesiastical coinage from the Low Countries, with the strike showing the irregularities characteristic of hammered copper pieces. |
