Comment
This Liard is an imitation of the one of Mary, princess of Dombes (see link)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the papacy of Urban VIII, who was a member of the Barberini family and was known for his extensive reforms within the Catholic Church and his support for the arts.
