Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Liard - Gaston ND (1651) coin from the Principality of Dombes (French States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Dombes family, which was a powerful and influential family in the region. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by the inscription "Gaston Dombes" and the date "1651". This design element sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a distinctive and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
