| Obverse description | The obverse features the Savoy coat of arms, displaying a crowned shield bearing the cross of Savoy in high relief, set within an ornate foliate surround. The heraldic device is rendered in the crude, bold style typical of hammered billon coinage of the period. The peripheral legend reads V.AMED.D:G.DUX.SAB.P.PED., an abbreviation for Vittorio Amedeo, by the grace of God Duke of Savoy, Prince of Piedmont. The lettering is distributed around the circumference of the coin, partially obscured by the irregular flan edge characteristic of hammered manufacture. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a large ornate cross pattée set within an elaborate cartouche of scrolling foliage and fleurs-de-lis, occupying the majority of the coin's field. The cross, a traditional dynastic emblem of the House of Savoy, is rendered in a bold, decorative style consistent with hammered coinage of the early seventeenth century. The surrounding legend IN.TE.DOMINE.CONFIDO., meaning 'In Thee, O Lord, I trust,' encircles the design, reflecting the pious motto of the Savoyard dukes. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped, as is typical for hammered billon issues of this series. |
