Interesting fact
The Brûle - Érard de la Marck 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 features an image of Saint Lambert, the patron saint of Liege, on one side and the coat of arms of the Prince-Bishop of Liege on the other. This coin was used as a means of payment and exchange during a period of significant social and economic change, and its design reflects the religious and political influences of the time.
