Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 Escalins - Jean-Théodore of Bavaria 1753-1754 from Prince-bishopric of Liege (Belgian States) made of Silver weighing 8.27 g is that it was minted during a time of great political and religious upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Jean-Théodore of Bavaria, who was the Prince-Bishop of Liège from 1753 to 1754. This was a period of significant conflict between the Catholic Church and the emerging Enlightenment values of reason, science, and individual liberty. The coin's design, which features an image of Jean-Théodore on one side and the coat of arms of the Prince-Bishopric of Liège on the other, reflects the complex political and religious landscape of the time.
