| Reverse description | A stylized chalice or goblet occupies the central field, rendered in the abstract, schematic manner characteristic of Merovingian monetary art of the early 7th century. The chalice motif, a relatively rare type among Frankish tremisses, is depicted frontally with a broad cup and splayed foot. The surrounding legend BANNIAEIACO FIIT, referencing the mint of Banassac in the Gévaudan region, is distributed around the periphery in debased Latin characters. The reverse is enclosed within a beaded border consistent with the obverse treatment. |
