| Obverse description | Draped bust of Charles Emmanuel III facing left, with the date inscribed in the exergue below the truncation. The effigy displays the king in contemporary court dress, rendered in a baroque portrait style typical of mid-18th-century Savoyard coinage. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery, interrupted by the bust, identifying the sovereign and his royal titles. The coin is struck within a finely toothed border that frames the entire design. |

| Reverse description | Central shield bearing the quartered arms of Savoy — featuring the distinctive white cross on a field — surmounted by a royal crown and flanked by ornate scrollwork supporters. The motto FERT appears on either side of the shield within the supporters, a traditional Savoyard device. The surrounding Latin legend, divided by the crowned arms, runs along the periphery within a toothed border, citing the ruler's ducal and princely titles. |
