| Reverse description | Central device depicting a chalice or cup set upon a pelleted ground line, a motif associated with the Banassac mint workshops of the Merovingian period. Scrollwork or volute ornaments appear above the chalice, lending the design an intricate, almost interlaced quality typical of Frankish artistic sensibility. The surrounding legend reads GAVALЄTANO F, identifying the moneyer Gavaletanus and likely indicating his role as monetarius. The lettering, while partially irregular, is arranged around the circumference of the flan in Latin characters. |
