Comment
Liard of Ferdinand d'Aspremont-Lynden comte de Reckheim (1636-1665). This type of liard was largely inspired by certain liards of Ferdinand of Bavaria, Prince-Bishop of Liège.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region. The Lordship of Reckem was a small state within the Belgian States, and the coin was minted during the reign of Ferdinand d'Aspremont-Lynden, who was a prominent noble in the area. Despite the turmoil, the coin was still widely used and valued for its copper content. Today, it is a rare and valuable collector's item, offering a glimpse into the history of the region and the people who lived there.
