1773 France 1 Liard – Lille (W), Louis XV – XF

The 1773 France 1 Liard, minted in Lille (marked by the “W” mint mark), is a rare and historically significant coin from the reign of Louis XV. Struck during the twilight of the Ancien Régime, this bronze coin features the laureate bust of Louis XV on the obverse and the royal Bourbon coat of arms on the reverse. In Extremely Fine (XF) condition, it retains sharp details, minimal wear, and traces of original luster, making it a prized addition for collectors of 18th-century French numismatics. A testament to Lille’s minting craftsmanship, this coin captures the political and economic climate of pre-Revolution France.
