This specimen was lot 926 in Jean Elsen sale 158 (Brussels, March 2024), where it sold for €600 (about US$780 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"LIEGE, Principauté, Ferdinand de Bavière (1612-1650), AR daler au lion de 30 patards, 1614, Hasselt. D/ Lion couronné deb. à g., ten. une épée et un écu de Bavière.

The bishopric of Liège was an ecclesiastical state in central Belgium and usually ruled by a Hapsburg client. The surrounding territory was ruled by the Spanish Hapsburgs from about 1500 until 1699 and the Austrian Hapsburgs 1714-97. This is a scarce one year type. Another daler of 1614, Dav-4291, depicts the bust of the bishop and is much more available. It is a little light to be classed as a crown.

Reported Mintage: unknown.

Specification: silver, this specimen 16,85 g.
