| Reverse description | The reverse displays the quartered shield of Savoy arms, featuring the characteristic cross of Savoy, surmounted by the Savoyard knot device above the escutcheon, all contained within an inner circle. The heraldic composition is centrally placed within the field, with the shield rendered in the flat, stylised manner typical of hammered gold coinage of the period. A continuous Latin legend encircles the design, invoking a scriptural motto. The lettering is distributed evenly around the periphery, separated by stops, and the entire device reflects the devotional and dynastic iconography favoured by the House of Savoy. |
