| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field features a bold Maltese cross with splayed, concave arms, set within a plain raised inner circle. The cross fills the entire inner circle and is well-defined despite the worn billon surface. Surrounding the inner circle, a circular Latin legend reads: GRA. DEI. SVM. ID QVOD. SVM., translating as 'By the grace of God, I am what I am,' a scriptural motto derived from 1 Corinthians 15:10. The legend is introduced by a cross pattée stop and separated by pellet stops throughout. The outer edge of the coin is irregular, consistent with hammered feudal coinage of the Béarn lordship in the early sixteenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Henry I of Albret inherited Béarn through his mother Catherine de Foix, ruling a territory that maintained its own monetary tradition with stubborn independence from the French crown. The liard denomination itself was a small billon piece circulating widely across French feudal domains in the early sixteenth century, but Béarn's issues remained distinctly local in character. Henry spent much of this period fighting to recover Navarre — lost to Ferdinand of Aragon in 1512 — and these coins circulated through a court perpetually short of funds and long on political grievance.
