Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Escalin- sede vacante 1771 1771 from Prince-bishopric of Liege (Belgian States) made of Silver weighing 4.85 g is that it was minted during a time of great political and religious upheaval in the region. The Prince-bishopric of Liege was a small state located in what is now eastern Belgium, and it was ruled by a prince-bishop who was both the political and religious leader of the region. In 1771, the prince-bishopric was facing financial difficulties and political instability, which led to the minting of this coin as a way to address these issues. The coin's design features the image of a bishop's mitre and a shield with the coat of arms of the prince-bishopric, symbolizing the authority and power of the ruling prince-bishop. Despite its historical significance, the coin is relatively rare and valuable, making it a sought-after collector's item for numismatists.
