| Reverse description | Central field displays a stylized alpha and omega motif within a beaded inner circle, rendered as schematic letterforms characteristic of 12th-century feudal die-cutting. A five-pointed star or decorative element appears in the left field outside the beaded border. The surrounding legend, partially legible due to the irregular flan and hammered technique, references the castle of Gien. The reverse design reflects the Carolingian-influenced symbolic vocabulary common to the mints of the Loire region during this period. |
