Comment
Although this coin has the same obverse as HPM 9107, the reverse is different.
Interesting fact
The 1 Oord / Liard coin from the Lordship of Gronsveld (Dutch States) features a unique design element - the lions on the coat of arms are depicted with their left paws raised, which is a departure from the more common right-paw-raised design seen on many other coins of the time. This distinctive feature makes the coin stand out and has led to its popularity among collectors.
