| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed bust facing right, rendered in the stylized late antique manner characteristic of Merovingian gold coinage, with pellet below the truncation. A cross surmounts the head within the upper field. The surrounding legend, executed in debased Latin lettering, reads + MAXIMINVS MO, identifying the moneyer responsible for the issue. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, typical of hammered Merovingian tremisses of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Banassac, situated in the Lozère, was among the most productive minting sites in Merovingian Gaul — its output during the seventh century was substantial enough to generate dozens of identified moneyers, each striking in their own name rather than that of any king. This practice, peculiar to Merovingian coinage, reflects the near-total collapse of centralized fiscal authority following the fragmentation of Clovis's kingdom among his heirs. The moneyer Maximinus is attested across a narrow window of production, his name confirming continuity with the Romano-Christian naming conventions that Frankish Gaul inherited rather than invented.
