| Obverse description | Full-length equestrian figure of Emmanuel Philibert I in full armor, brandishing a sword aloft with his right hand and bearing a shield on his left arm, the horse prancing vigorously to the right. The scene is set within an inner beaded border, with the date 1576 prominently displayed in the lower exergual area. The Latin legend, divided by the equestrian device, encircles the field reading EM PHILIBERTVS D G DVX SABAVDIAE 1576, identifying the duke by name and title. |

| Reverse description | A large eight-pointed Maltese cross dominates the central field, its arms radiating to the coin's border with pointed, V-shaped terminals. In each of the four quadrants formed by the cross arms, a heraldic shield bears the arms of territories under Savoyard rule: the lion of Savoy, the cross of the Order of the Annunciation, and related dynastic emblems. A small ornamental quatrefoil motif appears at the center where the arms of the cross converge. The encircling Latin legend, reading CHABIASI ET AVG SAC ROM IMP PRINCEPS, proclaims the duke's title as Prince of Chablais, Aosta, and the Holy Roman Empire, all within a beaded border. |
