Interesting fact
The ½ Liard coin from the Prince-bishopric of Liege (Belgian States) made of Copper and weighing 1.46g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Maximilien-Henri de Bavière ND (1650-1688), who was a prominent figure in the history of Liege. He was a member of the House of Wittelsbach and served as the Prince-Bishop of Liege from 1650 until his death in 1688. This coin is a testament to his legacy and the rich history of the Prince-bishopric of Liege.
