| Beschrijving voorzijde | A large Gothic capital letter S occupies the central field, enclosed within a plain inner circle surrounded by a beaded border. The surrounding legend, rendered in uncial script, reads AMEDEVS DVX. The overall style is characteristic of late medieval hammered billon coinage of the Savoyard principality. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Amadeus VIII ruled Savoy for decades before making one of the more unusual exits in medieval European history: in 1434 he withdrew to a hermitage at Ripaille on Lake Geneva, ostensibly renouncing worldly affairs, yet continued to govern through proxies. The Council of Basel then elected him antipope Felix V in 1439 — the last antipope in Western Church history — a role he held until 1449. These blanchet span that entire arc of ambition dressed as piety.
