| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field displays a stylised quatrefoil or cross fleury design, characteristic of French liard coinage of the period, occupying the majority of the reverse field. The surrounding legend reads SIT NOMEN DNI BENEDIT, an abbreviated form of the devotional phrase 'Sit Nomen Domini Benedictum' (Blessed be the Name of the Lord), with the date 1594 incorporated into the legend. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped, consistent with hammered billon coinage of late 16th-century France. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Henry IV struck these liards in the opening years of his reign while still fighting to consolidate a kingdom fractured by the Wars of Religion. He had only secured Paris in 1594, and his claim remained contested by Catholic League holdouts backed by Philip II of Spain. Minting even a debased billon piece in his own name carried political weight that the coin's modest intrinsic value completely belies.
The 1st type designation in Duplessy distinguishes it from later revised issues as the king's administration standardized production across loyalist mints.
