Interesting fact

The 1 Oord / Liard coin from the Lordship of Gronsveld (Dutch States) made of Copper is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The Dutch States were in the process of forming their own republic, and the issuance of this coin reflects the shift towards a more centralized and standardized system of currency. Additionally, the use of copper as the material for the coin was a common practice during this time period, as it was a readily available and affordable resource.
