| Obverse description | Central shield bearing the arms of Savoy — a plain cross — surmounted by a ducal crown adorned with five fleurons and four small globes. The shield is set within a beaded inner circle, with the Latin legend running continuously around the periphery. The overall composition is characteristic of mid-sixteenth-century Savoyard hammered coinage. |
