Interesting fact
The Liard coin from the Duchy of Bouillon was minted during a time of great turmoil in France. The country was in the midst of a series of wars, including the Franco-Dutch War and the War of the Spanish Succession, which lasted from 1683 to 1684. Despite these challenges, the Liard coin remained a popular form of currency among the French people, and its value remained relatively stable during this time.
