| Obverse description | Armored bust of Charles Emmanuel I, Duke of Savoy, facing right, with a prominent beard and wearing a plumed helmet with elaborate decorative cresting. The effigy is rendered in a bold, high-relief hammered style characteristic of early seventeenth-century Savoyard coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the portrait, reading CAR. EM. D.G. DVX. SAB. P. PED., identifying the ruler by name and title as Duke of Savoy and Prince of Piedmont. The field is flat and unadorned, with the bust occupying the central design area in a robust, authoritative manner. |

| Reverse description | Centrally placed quartered heraldic shield bearing the arms of Savoy, surmounted by a ducal crown and enclosed within an ornate cartouche or decorative surround. The escutcheon displays the dynastic quarters associated with the House of Savoy, rendered in the hammered style typical of the period. A circular Latin legend surrounds the design, reading IN. TE. DOMINE CONFIDO., a biblical motto meaning 'In Thee, O Lord, I trust,' followed by the date 1604. The composition reflects the pious and dynastic imagery common to early Baroque Italian gold coinage. |
