This specimen was lot 1206 in Jean Elsen sale 156 (Brussels, September 2023), where it sold for €180 (about US$231 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''LIEGE, Principauté, Siège vacant (1694), Cu liard au saint Lambert, 1694, Liège. D/ B. mitré du saint à g. R/ Cinq écus posés en croix, la date dans les angles. Très rare. Beau.'' ([[Austria, Austria-Netherlands|principality of Liège]], ''sede vacante'', copper liard of St. Lambert of 1694, Liège mint. Obverse: mitred bust of the saint to left; reverse: five shields posed in a cross, the date in the angles. Very rare, 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. This type was struck while the episcopal throne was vacant between the death of John Louis of Elderen and Joseph Clement of Bavaria. Originally a papal practice, such issues were made in Liège in 1688, 1694 and later.

Maximilian Henry was the third 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 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.
* John Theodore, r. 1744-63, bishop of Regensburg (1719-63), Freising (1727-63) and Liège (1744-63).
