http://a.n.r.d.free.fr/page103.htm Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Liard au dauphin - Henry IV 1592-1593 coin from France is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the fleur-de-lis symbol, which represents the French monarchy, placed on the reverse side of the coin. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the coin's authenticity and to differentiate it from counterfeit coins that were prevalent during that time period.
