Interesting fact

The 1 Liard coin from County of Artois (French States) made of Copper weighing 5.44 g was minted during the reign of Philip II (1582-1593) and features an interesting design element - a stylized fleur-de-lis symbol on the reverse side, which was a common motif in French coinage during that period.
