Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Liard coin from the Principality of Dombes is that it was minted during the reign of Mary, who was the last ruler of the principality before it was annexed by the Kingdom of France. Despite being a small coin made of billon, it features a detailed design, including an image of Mary on one side and the coat of arms of Dombes on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in French history and the history of the Principality of Dombes.
