The catalog description&lt;sup&gt;[1]&lt;/sup&gt; noted, &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;''VLAANDEREN, Graafschap, Karel VI (1711-1740), Cu oord, 1712, Brugge. Vz/ Bb. n. l. Kz/ Gekroond monogram. Deels zwak.'' ([[Austria, Austria-Netherlands|county of Flanders]], Charles VI, 1711-40, copper oord of 1712, Bruges mint. Obverse: draped and armored bust left; reverse: crowned monogram. Weakly struck, Very Fine - Extremely Fine.)&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt; The liard was the smallest denomination and was 1/240 of a ducaton. It was struck at Bruges 1712-13 and at [[Austrian Netherlands 1712(h) liard|Antwerp]] 1712-16. The SCWC lists some liards struck in Namur by Meximilian Emanuel of Bavaria but none by Charles VI. Charles started out as archduke Charles, pretender to the Spanish throne, but lost English and Dutch support after he succeeded his brother Joseph I as emperor in 1711. He gave up his claim at the Treaty of Utrecht in 1714 and was compensated with Belgium and Milan, both indefensible and an economic drain. Belgium went without coinage until Maria Theresia's reform of 1749.<br /> <br /> ''Recorded mintage:'' unknown.<br /> <br /> ''Specification:'' copper, this specimen 4,00 g.<br /> <br /> ''Catalog reference:'' KM unlisted, VH 794.<br /> <br /> ''[[Bibliography|Source:]]''<br /> * Michael, Thomas, ''Standard Catalog of World Coins, 1701-1800, 7th ed.,'' Iola, WI: Krause Publications, 2016. <br /> * &lt;sup&gt;[1]&lt;/sup&gt;Elsen, Philippe, et al., ''Vente Publique 163'', Brussels: Jean Elsen et ses Fils S.A., 2025.<br /> <br /> ''Link to:''<br /> * [[Austrian Netherlands 1712(h) liard|1712 liard, Antwerp mint]]<br /> * [[Austrian Netherlands 1713(h) liard|1713 liard, Antwerp mint]]<br /> * [[Namur 1713 escalin]]<br /> * [[Namur 1713 1/2 thaler]]<br /> * [[Namur 1713 ecu Dav-1276|1713 écu]]<br /> * [[Coins and currency dated 1712]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Selections from Jean Elsen sale 163]][[Category:Coinage of the Dutch provinces]]</div>
