1779 France 1 Liard – Lille (W), Louis XVI – VF

The 1779 France 1 Liard, minted in Lille (marked by the “W” mint mark), is a rare and historically significant coin from the reign of Louis XVI. Struck during the turbulent pre-Revolutionary era, this coin features the royal bust of Louis XVI on the obverse and the Bourbon coat of arms on the reverse. In Very Fine (VF) condition, it retains clear details with moderate wear, offering collectors an accessible yet well-preserved piece of 18th-century French numismatics. A testament to Lille’s minting legacy, this 1 Liard is a prized addition for enthusiasts of Ancien Régime coinage.
