(On July 26, 1552, the master coiner Jaspard Vleminx received instructions to manufacture silver dalers and their subdivisions on the standard of the imperial thaler in Liège. The decree of September 5, 1552, mentions, "silver dalers on the standard of those of the emperor, the electors and the cities of the Empire are presented, and which for the last eight years in succession have been minted.")"
