| Beschrijving voorzijde | A displayed eagle with spread wings, facing front, surmounted by a crown, all within an inner beaded circle. The eagle, rendered in the bold relief characteristic of late medieval Italian hammered coinage, occupies the full field. The circumscribed Latin legend CIVITATEM SAVONAE runs along the outer border between the beaded and milled rims, affirming the civic authority of Savona. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The enthroned Madonna seated facing, holding the Christ Child on her lap, both figures depicted in high relief within an inner beaded circle. The Virgin is shown in flowing drapery with the Child before her, in the devotional style typical of late 15th-century north Italian ecclesiastical coinage. The circumferential Latin legend VIRGO MARIA PROTEGE encircles the composition between the beaded and milled rims, invoking the Virgin's protection over the city of Savona. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Savona's brief period under French dominion followed Louis XII's campaigns in northern Italy, which gave the city an unusual dual loyalty — nominally Genoese in administration, yet increasingly under French military protection after 1499. The ducat issues struck in Louis XII's name reflect this awkward arrangement rather than any outright annexation. Savona never fully escaped Genoese commercial orbit despite the French political overlay, and the city's minting activity during this window was limited enough that surviving examples from this series are genuinely scarce by Italian States standards.
