| Additional information |
The Austrian Netherlands were administered from Vienna with persistent friction — local estates resisted Viennese fiscal reforms throughout Maria Theresia's reign, and small copper coinage became a recurring flashpoint. The 2 liard denomination bridged Flemish and Brabantine monetary habits, with "oorden" being the Dutch-language equivalent used in the northern provinces of the same territory.
KM#3 was struck across multiple mints serving the Low Countries. Die quality varied considerably by facility, and examples from the earlier years of the run tend to show sharper workmanship than those from 1753–54.
