This liard exists in two versions. The difference between the versions lies in the obverse titulation. Type "A" reads FERDINAND . D . G . EPISCOPVS . LEOD, meaning Ferdinand by the grace of God, Bishop of Liège. Type "B" reads FERDINAND . D . G . EP . LEO . D . BVL which means, Ferdinand by the grace of God bishop of Liège duke of Bouillon. The reverse is identical and comes from the same corner as the liard (Dgs 1035). This coin was hammered in Hasselt. The city's magistrate is said to have asked the Prince to produce this coin. It was granted on October 19, 1641.
