Interesting fact
The 1 Liard coin from the Abbey of Thorn, featuring Anne van de Marck, is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its age and historical significance. It was minted during a time of great political and religious turmoil in Europe, and its design reflects the influences of the Counter-Reformation movement, which aimed to reform the Catholic Church and promote religious unity.
