| Beschrijving voorzijde | Quartered heraldic shield bearing the arms of Abbot Bonifacio Ferrero, surmounted by a wide-brimmed cardinal's hat with pendant tassels. The escutcheon is set centrally in the field, flanked by the circular Latin legend. The overall composition reflects the ecclesiastical rank and authority of the issuer in a style characteristic of Italian Renaissance hammered coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Abbey of Fruttuaria, founded in 1003 near San Benigno Canavese in Piedmont, held minting rights as a feudal privilege — a concession that became increasingly anomalous by the sixteenth century as territorial princes consolidated monetary authority. Bonifacio Ferrero served as commendatory abbot, a system by which secular or clerical outsiders were granted abbacies for political reasons rather than monastic ones. His appointment reflected Savoy-era ecclesiastical patronage rather than any conventional religious role.
CNI II#1 designates this as the primary catalogued type for the series. Surviving examples are exceptionally rare; the abbey's monetary output during this period was minimal and almost entirely absorbed by local transactions.
