Interesting fact
The Liard coin from the Prince-bishopric of Liege, made of copper and weighing 3.1g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The Prince-bishopric of Liege was a small state in what is now Belgium, and it was a significant center of trade and commerce in the 18th century. The coin was minted during the reign of Georges-Louis de Berghes, who was the Prince-bishop of Liege from 1726 to 1727. This coin is a rare and valuable artifact from that time period, and it provides a fascinating glimpse into the economic and political history of the region.
