Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Liard Tournois - Henry 1615 coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in France. The Principality of Sedan, where the coin was minted, was a small independent state located in the northeastern part of France, and it was constantly threatened by the surrounding powerful states, including France and the Holy Roman Empire. Despite these challenges, the Principality of Sedan was able to maintain its independence and issue its own coins, such as the Liard Tournois - Henry 1615, which is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people who lived there.
