| Beschrijving keerzijde | A cross pattée centered within a double beaded circle, dividing the reverse field into four equal quadrants. The cross is rendered in low relief, characteristic of hammered billon coinage of the mid-16th century. The surrounding legend, separated by ornamental stops, carries the motto NIL VLTRA ARAS with the date 1553, referencing the baronial device and year of issue. The flan edge is notably irregular, with areas of weakness in the strike consistent with hand-hammered production methods of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Franquemont was a small barony in the Franche-Comté, and Nicolas Gilley's tenure as its lord placed him among the minor Burgundian nobility exercising the jealously guarded right of coinage that the Habsburgs were steadily eroding across the region in the mid-sixteenth century. This liard is one of several die varieties catalogued under Franquemon#3, distinguished by minor differences in the legend execution that reflect the irregular hand of a small local workshop rather than any imperial mint.
At 0.38g, this piece sits at the lighter end of surviving examples — billon coinage from minor baronies was subject to no rigorous weight enforcement.
