Reverse description A chalice with a broad cup and spreading foot is depicted in the center of the field, set upon a pelleted ground line — a distinctive and recurring type associated with the Banassac mint and its moneyers during the Merovingian period. The design is boldly struck in high relief but rendered in the characteristic crude, schematic style of the workshop. The surrounding Latin legend names the moneyer and the mint. The overall composition, though simplified, retains clear symbolic Christian eucharistic reference.
