Interesting fact
The 1 Oord / Liard coin from Charles VI's reign (1712-1713) was the first coin to feature the image of a king on one side and the coat of arms of the County of Flanders on the other. This design was a departure from the previous coins of the Spanish Netherlands, which had typically featured religious symbols or allegorical figures. The introduction of the king's image on the coinage was seen as a way to emphasize the authority and power of the Spanish monarchy over the region.
