| Reversbeschreibung | Cruciform arrangement of four heraldic shields in the central field: at top, the arms of the bishopric of Liège (barry of six); at left, the arms of the Chapter; at right, a shield bearing a lion rampant; and at base, a shield with additional Chapter arms. The date 1724 is divided across the quarters of the cruciform arrangement, with 17 at upper left and 24 at lower right. The circumferential Latin legend DEC·ET·CAP·LEOD·SEDE·VACANTE identifies the issuing authority as the Dean and Chapter of Liège during the vacancy of the episcopal see. A beaded border frames the entire design. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Sede Vacante coinage was struck by cathedral chapters to assert their administrative authority during the gap between a bishop's death and the installation of his successor — a right jealously guarded and periodically contested by secular powers. At Liège, the Chapter of Saint-Lambert exercised this prerogative with particular consistency across multiple vacancies. The 1724 issue followed the death of Joseph-Clément of Bavaria, whose 34-year tenure had been politically turbulent, marked by the War of the Spanish Succession and a forced exile from his own see.
The chapter's right to coin during vacancies was not merely ceremonial — it generated real revenue at a moment when episcopal finances were in transition.
