| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field bears a stylized eagle or heraldic device within a raised inner circle, the whole enclosed by a plain linear border and an outer ring of radiating petals or lobes forming a beaded or crenellated rim. The legend, rendered in late Gothic uncial letterforms, reads S AM COM SABADIE (Samedus Comes Sabaudiae), identifying Amadeus VIII as Count of Savoy. The die is crudely engraved in the characteristic style of small hammered billon issues of the late fourteenth to early fifteenth century. Considerable irregularity in the flan is evident, consistent with hand-cut blanks of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Amadeus VIII came to power at age nine following his father's death in 1391, with the county administered by regents through his early years. The blanchet belongs to this formative stretch of Savoyard rule, before Amadeus transformed the county into a duchy in 1416 — a promotion extracted from Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund at the Council of Constance. That elevation effectively ended the political circumstances under which this denomination was struck.
Amadeus later abdicated in 1434, withdrew to a hermitage at Ripaille, and was elected Antipope Felix V in 1439 — the last antipope in Western history.
