Interesting fact
The Patagon - Sede Vacante 1792 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 during the French Revolution, which had a significant impact on the region and led to the eventual annexation of the Prince-bishopric of Liege by France in 1795. Despite this, the coin still features the image of the Prince-bishop, Charles-Nicolas d'Oultremont, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Prince-bishopric on the other. This coin serves as a reminder of the complex history of the region during this time period.
