| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bust of a bishop in profile facing right, mitred and vested, extending his right hand in blessing toward a figure before him while holding a crozier in his left hand. The composition is typical of Mosan ecclesiastical coinage of the late 12th century, with the figures rendered in a schematic, linear style characteristic of hammered medieval deniers. The partial legend R O F appears to the left of the design, likely referencing the issuing bishop Rudolph of Zähringen. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Rudolph of Zähringen held the see of Liège from 1167 to 1191 under circumstances that were anything but ecclesiastical — he was appointed through the direct intervention of Frederick Barbarossa, whose campaign to dominate imperial church appointments defined the political mechanics of the episcopate throughout this period. The perron, Liège's distinctive civic symbol and the mark of its communal liberties, appearing on coinage issued under a bishop installed by imperial fiat carries a particular irony the citizens of Liège would not have missed.
