Comment
A particularly rare type coin corresponding to a Huguenot issue made between January 21 and March 23, 1568 in Montélimar (Cf. P.-V. SFN, 1912, p. LXIX). Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was part of an illegal issuance of coins by Huguenots in Montélimar, France in 1568. The Huguenots were a minority religious group in France at the time, and they issued their own coins as a form of protest against the Catholic government. This coin, the 1 Liard - Charles IX, was one of the coins issued during that time and is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
