(en)

Until the French revolution spread beyond the borders, the Austrian Netherlands recognized and protected a clerical state within its territory: the Principate of Liège, governed by the prince-bishop residing there. Until the 1860's the prince bishop had minting rights. Prince-bishop Jean-Theodore de Bavière (Johann Theodor von Bayern) abused his minting rights flooding the principate and the Austrian Netherlands with underweight circulation silver and poor alloys. Minting rights were withdrawn and the only coins produced later on were (low mintage) commemorative gifts to diplomats and high ranking visitors to the Prince-Bishop.
