| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field bears a stylised representation of a church or cathedral façade — a design derived from the Lausanne episcopal denier type — depicted as a turreted building with a triangular gabled roof and an arcade of three bays at its base, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. A small cross pattée is placed at the apex of the structure, reinforcing the ecclesiastical iconography. The surrounding peripheral legend in uncial Latin characters reads DE SABAVDIA, distributed around the outer border. Small ornamental devices, including cross pattées, appear in the legend field, consistent with Savoyard imitative coinage practice. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Amadeus VI — the "Green Count" — struck these deniers in deliberate imitation of the Lausanne episcopal coinage, a calculated monetary strategy in a region where the Bishop of Lausanne's currency had long dominated local trade. By mimicking an established and trusted type, Savoy could ease its own coin into circulation without resistance. The deception was practical rather than fraudulent by contemporary standards; such imitative issues were a routine instrument of feudal monetary competition across the western Alps.
The Lausanne originals they copy date from episcopal issues that predate Amadeus VI's reign by generations, which can make attribution tricky when both types circulate together in hoards.
