| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field depicting a leopard passant, the heraldic beast associated with the English royal and Lancastrian arms, rendered in the stylized manner characteristic of Plantagenet-era feudal coinage. The figure of the leopard occupies the majority of the inner circle, with visible contours of the body and limbs despite significant surface wear and corrosion. An inner beaded or linear circle borders the central device, beyond which a circumferential legend in uncial Latin letters identifies the issuing lord's territorial title. The overall strike is typical of irregularly shaped hammered silver coins produced in the mid-fourteenth century under English feudal lordship in southwestern France. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Henry of Lancaster held Bergerac as an English-controlled lordship during a period when Edward III's forces dominated much of Gascony following the early campaigns of the Hundred Years' War. The leopard type was a deliberate political signal — the Plantagenet leopard stamped English authority onto local coinage at a moment when French and English administrations were actively competing for fiscal control of the Dordogne region.
The Elias variety designation suggests die differences exist within this short emission window. Lancaster's tenure as lord was interrupted by the Black Death, which struck Bergerac severely in 1348, almost certainly disrupting mint operations mid-issue.
