Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Liard of Provence coin is that it was minted during the reign of Louis XII, who was known for his military conquests and territorial expansion. The coin's initial cross and ND (1514) markings indicate that it was minted during his reign, which lasted from 1498 to 1515. The use of billon, a copper and silver alloy, was also a common practice during this time period.
