This specimen was lot 1127 in Jean Elsen sale 156 (Brussels, September 2023), where it sold for €175 (about US$225 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''LIEGE, Principauté, Ernest de Bavière (1581-1612), Cu brûlé de 16 sols, 1583, Maaseik. D/ Ecu couronné, écartelé de Bavière-Palatinat. R/ Perron entre XVI- SOVS. Très rare. Légère faiblesse de frappe. presque Très Beau. Provient de la collection H. Frère, septembre 2000.'' ([[Austria, Austria-Netherlands|principality of Liège]], Ernest of Bavaria, 1581-1612, copper sixteen sols of 1583, Maaseik mint. Obverse: crowned and quartered arms of Bavaria and the Palatinate; reverse: column divides the value. Very rare, slightly weakly struck, about Very Fine.)"</blockquote> The bishopric of Liège was an ecclesiastical state in central Belgium. The surrounding territory was ruled by the Spanish Hapsburgs from about 1500 until 1699 and the Austrian Hapsburgs 1714-97.

Ernest was the first of four prince-bishops from Bavaria. They were also dukes of Bouillon, archbishops of Cologne and electors of the Empire, all of which titles appeared in various combinations on their coins. They are as follows:
* Ernest, r. 1581-1612, archbishop of Cologne (1583-1612), bishop of Münster (1584-1612), Freising, Hildesheim, Freising and Liège.
* Ferdinand, r. 1612-50, archbishop of Cologne, bishop of Münster, Hildesheim, Paderborn (1618-50) and Liège. Never ordained as a priest.
* Maximilian Henry, r. 1650-88, archbishop of Cologne, bishop of Münster, Hildesheim and Liège. Lost the duchy of Bouillon to Louis XIV.
* Joseph Clement, r. 1688-1723, bishop of Regensburg and Freising (1685-94) and archbishop of Cologne, bishop of Hildesheim (1702-23) and Liège (1694-1723).
* Clemens August, r. 1723-61, bishop of Regensburg (1716-19) and then archbishop of Cologne, bishop of Münster, Hildesheim, Osnabrück and Paderborn but never ruled in Liège. His incompetence and extravagance ended Wittelsbach rule in Cologne.
