Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Liard "des Etats"- Brabant Revolt ND (1578-1580) coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the Spanish Netherlands. The Brabant Revolt, which took place from 1578 to 1580, was a rebellion against Spanish rule by the Dutch-speaking provinces of the Spanish Netherlands. This coin, which features the coat of arms of the Duchy of Brabant, was likely minted as a form of propaganda to promote the rebels' cause and to raise funds for their military efforts. Despite the turmoil surrounding its creation, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the enduring spirit of the Dutch people.
