Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in France. The Principality of Orange was a small state located in the south of France, and it was a vassal state of the King of France. However, during the 17th century, the Principality of Orange was caught up in the midst of the Thirty Years' War, a conflict that devastated much of Europe. Despite this, the Principality of Orange was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, such as the Liard with H - Frederic Henry ND (1625-1647) that . This coin is a testament to the resilience and determination of the people of the Principality of Orange during a time of great upheaval.
