1 Liard - Ernest of Lynden Bust type

Ernest of Lynden governed Reckem, a tiny lordship on the Franco-Flemish border, during a period when the southern Netherlands were saturated with petty seigneurial coinages issued by local lords exploiting their minting privileges under increasingly strained Spanish Habsburg oversight. The Liard denomination was the workhorse of small Flemish commerce, and lords like Lynden struck it in copper partly because silver issues required closer scrutiny from higher authorities.

De Mey's three-reference spread across Reck#124–126 suggests meaningful die variation across the thirteen-year emission period.
