Interesting fact
The Liard - Honoré III 1735 coin from Monaco was minted during the reign of Honoré III, who was the Prince of Monaco from 1731 until his death in 1795. During his reign, Monaco faced significant economic challenges, including a severe shortage of coinage. To address this issue, Honoré III ordered the minting of new coins, including the Liard - Honoré III 1735, which was made of copper and had a value of one liard, a small denomination. Despite its small value, the coin was an important part of Monaco's economy at the time and is now a sought-after collector's item.
