This Albus was minted in the German Free City of Frankfurt in 1655 AD:   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

A 1655 ort (1/4 thaler or 18 groszy) of Poland-Lithuaniacck in Krakow:   The last digit of the date is weak but the initials IT obverse and other design details confirm the date. Edited by tdziemia

Here is another Albus, although this one comes from the German Archbishopric of Mainz and is dated 1654 AD:   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Not a Liard, but this Denier Tournois seems to be either copper or very debased silver. It was minted at a French County of Nevers-Rethel in 1653 AD.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

A number of nearby French feudal states, like Arches & Charleville and Château-Regnault, followed in the early 1600s. They were probably an inspiration for the French royal coinage. The very first royal liard test coins in copper were issued in 1649 (I don't have one, eight known examples ...  ). |

My last Polish coin for a few weeks. Sigismund III struck so many small value silver coins between 1588-1628 that none needed to be struck again until two reigns later, starting in 1650. This 1650 ort (1/4 thaler) struck in Wschowa is from the Karolkiewicz collection auctioned by CNG in 2020.   |

France 1649, 1 denier tournois, Louis XIV, Paris (A).  1649 was the last year that 1 denier coins were minted. It was the smallest denomination, 1/240 of a livre, and was of little use even as small change (it was about one third of an English farthing). It was minted in 1648 and 1649 only and circulated only in the provinces. |
