Interesting fact
The 5 Liards coin from the Duchy of Lorraine, featuring Leopold I, was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin's minting was a result of the coinage reform implemented by Leopold I in 1706, which aimed to standardize the coinage system in the Duchy of Lorraine and make it more efficient. This reform was a significant step towards modernizing the economy of the region and paved the way for future economic growth.
