| Obverse description | Central field bears a stylized tower or castellated structure within a beaded inner circle, rendered in the crude but vigorous style characteristic of 13th-century feudal coinage. The tower motif, likely referencing the episcopal or comital authority of Avignon, rises from the base with flanking architectural elements. Small pellets or stars are distributed around the field between the inner beaded border and the outer legend. The surrounding Latin legend reads + AVINIO:, referencing the city of Avignon as the issuing mint. The flan is irregular and slightly concave, as typical of hammered medieval small silver coinage. |
