The blocky F monogram under the crown reminds me a little of Fernando II of 13th century Naples, but I'm not finding a good fit for that simple cross with his coins. Hopefully someone else has better luck that me.

erafjel Pillar of the Community Sweden 2124 Posts	Posted 05/28/2022 10:55 am It is a French liard by Francois I, minted 1541-47 in Villeneuve Saint-Andre (the R under the cross). Here it is in Numista: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces8549.html (The Numista info that R stands for Orleans is not correct; at the time of Francois I it represented Villeneuve-Saint-Andre.)
