Comment
Although having the title of III of Navarre, Henri continued on the currencies of this province the figure II which is that of Béarn.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Liard coin from Kingdom of Navarre (France) is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in French history. Henry III, who ruled from 1574 to 1589, faced numerous challenges during his reign, including religious wars between Catholics and Protestants, and conflicts with neighboring countries. Despite these challenges, the Liard coin remained a widely used denomination during this period, reflecting the importance of trade and commerce in the region.
