Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Liard - Ferdinand of Bavaria 1614 (1614-1615) from Prince-bishopric of Liege (Belgian States) made of Copper weighing 3.38 g is that it was minted during a time of great political and religious upheaval in Europe. The Prince-bishopric of Liege was a small state located in what is now modern-day Belgium, and it was a significant center of religious and political power during the early 17th century. The coin's minting was likely a response to the economic and political changes that were taking place in the region at the time, and it is a fascinating example of how currency can reflect the complexities of history.
