| Reverse description | A bold long cross pattée divides the reverse field into four quarters, each containing a small heraldic or ornamental symbol, consistent with the feudal coinage style of the Archbishopric of Vienne. A beaded inner circle frames the central cross design. The surrounding Latin legend reads MAXIMA GALLI, a reference to Vienne's historical designation as Prima et Maxima Gallia, affirming its status as chief city of Gaul. The overall striking is typical of the irregular hammered technique used in southern French ecclesiastical mints of the period. |
