1 Groschen - Louis I

Louis I ruled Savoy from 1440 until his death in 1465, presiding over a duchy caught between the competing gravitational pulls of France, the Swiss Confederacy, and the Duchy of Milan. His reign saw Savoy's political alignment shift repeatedly, and the coinage reflects a duchy minting on its own terms — the groschen denomination itself signals the persistent German monetary influence in Savoyard currency even as the territory straddled Latin and Germanic Europe.

The MIR CS#160 reference places this firmly within the Corpus of Savoyard coinage, a series notoriously difficult to date within reign spans given the absence of regnal year marking on most issues.
