| Beschrijving voorzijde | Three-quarter facing effigy of Victor Amadeus II, Duke of Savoy, with head turned to the right, rendered in low relief in the characteristic style of late seventeenth-century Savoyard billon coinage. The duke's portrait is depicted with naturalistic facial features and period costuming. The date appears below the bust in the lower field. The circumferential legend, interrupted by pellets as word dividers, runs along the coin's periphery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Vittorio Amedeo II was still nominally under French tutelage when these pieces were struck — Louis XIV had effectively controlled Savoyard foreign policy for years. The shift came in 1690 when Vittorio Amedeo broke with France and joined the League of Augsburg, a reversal that immediately dragged Piedmont into active warfare and disrupted normal administrative functions including the Turin mint.
Billon of this fineness wore rapidly in circulation, which makes problem-free survivors harder to find than the type's obscurity might suggest.
