| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped and cuirassed bust of François de Bourbon, Prince of Conti, facing right, wearing a ruffled collar and armour, rendered in a bold, somewhat provincial style characteristic of early 17th-century French feudal coinage. The effigy occupies the central field, with the name legend FRANCOIS DE BOVRBON arching around the upper periphery in Latin characters. The date 1613 appears in the lower field, separated from the bust by a horizontal line. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Château-Regnault was a tiny sovereign principality straddling the Meuse in the Ardennes, and its right to strike copper coinage was a point of persistent friction with the French crown. Francis of Bourbon-Conti, ruling from this postage-stamp territory, issued liards that circulated primarily in the surrounding Ardennes region — French royal authorities periodically attempted to suppress such feudal small-change issues, with limited success.
The De Mey Ardennes reference situates this piece within a well-documented regional series, but surviving examples remain scarce; the principality's output was modest and copper survives poorly.
