Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Liard with dolphin - Louis XII ND (1498-1515) from France made of Billon (.239 silver) weighing 0.73 g is that it features a unique design element - the dolphin. The dolphin was a symbol of Louis XII's royal coat of arms, and its inclusion on the coin was a way to showcase the king's power and influence. This coin was also one of the first French coins to feature a realistic image of a animal, rather than a stylized or mythical representation.
