Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Gold Ecu coin from the Prince-bishopric of Liege is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political turmoil in Europe. The coin features an image of Ferdinand of Bavaria, who was a prominent Catholic bishop and politician, and its minting was likely a symbol of the Catholic Church's influence and power during this time. Additionally, the coin's gold content and intricate design make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
