Comment
Sometimes described as a ½ Thaler due to its size.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Daler of 30 Patards - Ferdinand of Bavaria 1614 from Prince-bishopric of Liege (Belgian States) is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political turmoil in Europe. The Prince-bishopric of Liege was a small state located in what is now Belgium, and it was a vassal state of the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was minted during the reign of Ferdinand of Bavaria, who was the Prince-bishop of Liege from 1612 to 1650. This was a time of great conflict between Catholic and Protestant states, and the coin may have been used as a symbol of the Prince-bishopric's allegiance to the Catholic Church. Additionally, the coin's silver content and intricate design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
