Comment
This liard was coined in 1712 by Regent Maximilian II Emanuel, prince elector of Bavaria, in the name of Charles IIInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Liard - Charles II 1692 coin from Spanish Netherlands (County of Namur, Belgian States) is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil and change in the region. The Spanish Netherlands, which included present-day Belgium, Luxembourg, and parts of the Netherlands, was under Spanish rule at the time, and the coinage was heavily influenced by Spanish designs and minting practices. However, the County of Namur, where this coin was minted, had a degree of autonomy and was able to issue its own coins, such as this 1 Liard coin. Despite the political and economic challenges of the time, the coin remains a fascinating piece of history and a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of the people of the region.
