The mint signature is certainly CANTO at the top of the rev. picture because there is no sign of a termination. Where it would be is flat, and it doesn't matter whether it is a colon or initial cross, it ain't visible. RAVL is a distinct possibility given the width of the A. I'll bear that in mind. If the curl inside the C is an R tail, we are halfway there. The following A would be super-imposed on the A of the moneyer name, so possible slightly different profile given the possibility of made up letters from lines, crescents and wedges. The mint signature looks to cover about 150 degrees of the legend -

Graded Proof 64 at PCGS, and IMHO every bit that. -
All I know is that the collector lived in Australia which is why the collection was later sold through Noble Numismatics. The only coins I recognised were the 1826 copper proofs. These were bought at a Spink sale in 2012 or 2013 - though they got the date of the Spink sale or lot numbers slightly out in the NN footnotes. I remember penny to farthing went for £1.5K, £1.1K and £400 respectively back then, but they were noted as ex-Peck and referenced to an earlier Glendinings (? from memory) sale of all three coins sold as one lot in 1966. All three were beautifully toned semi-lustrous proofs. One possibility might be to ask Noble Numismatics to forward a message to the collector, if he's still alive that is. Otherwise you could specify the coin(s) on here and see if anyone might know. -
With Rob’s proposition for a shorter name, I wonder whether it might be RAVL? There’s certainly a hint of the V My only other thought is, if the city was CANT, with the O being a G instead (the 2nd curve of the ‘O’ looks straighter, so a possibility I guess?), then GOLDHAVOC could also work? A die-match will be the only sure way of answering the question.
