| Aanvullende informatie |
Georg of Austria was an illegitimate son of Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I, legitimized and handed the Prince-Bishopric of Liège in 1544 as part of Habsburg ecclesiastical patronage strategy in the Low Countries. His tenure coincided with the prolonged conflict between the Habsburgs and France, and Liège — technically a neutral Imperial fief — found itself perpetually squeezed between competing armies. The thaler coinage of his episcopate reflects an attempt to assert the territory's monetary independence at a moment when that independence was under constant political pressure.
Delmonte 440 is among the scarcer of the Liège thaler types from this reign.
