Interesting fact

The Liard - Sede Vacante 1688 coin from the Prince-bishopric of Liege (Belgian States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of political turmoil. The coin was issued in 1688, which was a year of great change in Europe, with the English Glorious Revolution and the French Revolution both taking place. Additionally, the Prince-bishopric of Liege was a small state that was part of the Holy Roman Empire, and the coin's minting was likely a way for the ruling prince-bishop to assert his authority and independence during a time of upheaval.
