Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Liard coin from Spanish Netherlands is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil and change in the region. The coin was minted during the reign of Philip II, who was the King of Spain and the Lord of the Netherlands at the time. This was a period of great religious and political tension, as the Protestant Reformation was sweeping across Europe and the Dutch provinces were fighting for their independence from Spanish rule. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a standard circulation coin throughout this period, reflecting the resilience and adaptability of the people of the region.
