Reverse description Central field features the heraldic shield of Savoy — a plain cross on a quartered field — displayed upright within a beaded inner circle. The shield is surmounted by a crown visible at the upper rim, consistent with the comital dignity of Amadeus VI. A circumscribed legend in Gothic uncial script reads SABAVDIE, identifying the issuing territory. The overall style is characteristic of Viennois-type feudal billon coinage of the mid-fourteenth century, with the flan showing the typical irregularity of hand-struck production.
