Reverse lettering	AMET ZOGU (Translation: FERT was the motto of the house of Savoy, adopted by King Vittorio Amedeo II (1666-1732). It is thought to be an acronym, though what it stands for have been lost to time. Theories include:  1. Foedere Et Religione Tenemur (Latin, ‘treaty and religion bind us’)  2. Fortitudo Eius Rempublicam Tenet (Latin, ‘his bravery [or strength] preserves [or defends] the state’)  3. Fides Est Regni Tutela (Latin, ‘faith is the protector of [our] kingdom’)  Another theory suggests that it is in fact the Latin word fert, the third-person singular present active indicative of ferre (Meaning he/she/it suffers/bears), in reference to Jesus bearing the sins of the world.)
