Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Liard coin is that it was minted during the reign of Peter II of Bourbon, who was the last prince of Dombes to issue coins in his name. The coin features an image of the prince on one side and the coat of arms of Dombes on the other. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the Liard was an important part of the local economy in the Principality of Dombes during the late 15th and early 16th centuries.
