| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Victor Amadeus III facing right, with elaborately curled hair tied at the nape, occupying the majority of the coin's field. The date 1793 appears in the exergue beneath the truncation. A circular legend surrounds the effigy, separated from the toothed border by a fine inner rim. The portrait is rendered in a restrained Baroque style characteristic of late 18th-century Piedmontese coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central device consisting of the dynastic cross of Savoy surmounted by a royal crown, with four busts of eagles or Savoy emblems placed in the four angles of the cross, all contained within a circular cartouche bearing the eagle of Savoy at center. The Savoy white cross on a gules field is depicted at the heart of the composition. A circular Latin legend reading the ruler's additional titles runs along the periphery, enclosed between a toothed outer border and an inner rim. The overall design reflects the established heraldic conventions of the House of Savoy. |
