| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the crowned shield of Savoy, displaying the dynastic cross of the House of Savoy, surmounted by an elaborate Renaissance crown with fleur-de-lis finials. The shield is set within a beaded inner circle, with the circular Latin legend running between the inner circle and the coin's edge, reading EM. PHILIBERTVS. DE. SABAVDIA. The design is executed in the hammered style typical of mid-sixteenth-century Savoyard coinage, with bold relief on the heraldic elements. |
