Interesting fact
The Brûlé - Érard coin from the Prince-bishopric of Liege (Belgian States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great religious and political turmoil in Europe, particularly in the Low Countries. The coin's minting period, 1512-1526, coincided with the Protestant Reformation and the subsequent religious conflicts that swept across the region. Despite these challenges, the coin's design and production remained consistent, reflecting the enduring importance of trade and commerce during this period.
