The Couronne d'Or - John of Bavaria ND (1389-1418) coin from the Prince-bishopric of Liege (Belgian States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of John of Bavaria, who was the Prince-Bishop of Liege from 1389 until his death in 1418. This was a period of significant upheaval in the region, as the Prince-Bishopric of Liege was struggling to maintain its independence and power in the face of encroachment from neighboring territories and the growing influence of the Holy Roman Empire. Despite these challenges, the minting of this coin suggests that the Prince-Bishopric of Liege was still able to maintain a level of economic stability and prosperity during this time.
