| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays a stylized ducal or comital monogram enclosed within a beaded inner circle, the whole surrounded by a peripheral Latin legend. The design is characteristic of mid-12th century feudal hammered coinage, executed in a crude but distinctive die-cut style. The legend GAVFRIDVS, referencing Count Geoffrey of Brittany, runs around the outer margin in bold Romanesque lettering. The flan is irregular in shape and shows typical surface porosity consistent with billon alloy of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Geoffrey IV of Brittany held Nantes only briefly — his county was contested almost continuously, and the mint operated under conditions of political instability that kept production runs short. The narrow two-year window attributed to this issue reflects a specific phase of Geoffrey's control over the city before broader Breton dynastic pressures reasserted themselves.
PA#244 is among the scarcer feudal deniers of the Loire region, with surviving examples typically showing uneven billon alloy distribution across the flan.
