| Obverse description | Facing confronted busts of Emanuel Philibert and Margaret of France, both in high-collared period dress, set within a beaded or linear inner circle. The effigies face one another at center, rendered in the Renaissance portrait style typical of Savoyard coinage of the mid-sixteenth century. The circumferential Latin legend surrounds the pair along the outer field. |

| Reverse description | A sinuous serpent intertwined in an elaborate knot around a bundle of five arrows, arranged vertically at center within a beaded or linear inner circle, forming a device symbolic of strength and unity — the so-called 'Herculean knot' emblem of the House of Savoy. The composition is tightly rendered in the field, with the circumferential Latin motto surrounding the central device along the outer border. |
