| Obverse description | Central field features a plain cross pattée set within a beaded inner circle, with a small pellet or annulet visible in the upper right angle of the cross. The surrounding legend, rendered in uncial Latin characters, reads ✠ AM` ⁑ COMES, identifying Amadeus as count. The overall design is typical of mid-13th century Savoyard hammered coinage, exhibiting the flat, irregularly-flan striking characteristic of the period. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays a multi-pointed star or stylized eagle displayed, rendered in a bold, angular hammered style consistent with 13th-century Savoyard feudal coinage, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend in uncial Latin reads ✠ SABAVDIE, proclaiming the authority of the County of Savoy. The irregular flan and variable strike are typical of contemporary hand-hammered production, with letters partially visible at the periphery due to flan limitations. |
