Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Liard - Gaston and Mary (Posthumous) 1628-1629 coin from the Principality of Dombes is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in France. The coin was issued in the midst of the Thirty Years' War, which had caused widespread devastation and economic disruption throughout Europe. Despite these challenges, the Principality of Dombes was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, such as the Liard - Gaston and Mary (Posthumous) 1628-1629. This coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Dombes during a difficult period in history.
