Definition

• Originally a base silver coin, the value of which is difficult to determine as it was generally struck without, any marks of denomination. Some early French varie- ties had a value of three Peniers, but with the decrease in worth of the latter coin the Liard decreased correspondingly and un- der Henry IV it was struck in copper and became the fourth part of the Sol.

  The name is probably a corruption of li ardito, the Gascon form of the Hardi or Eardit (q.v.).
