| Additional information |
Aymon of Savoy, who ruled the county from 1329 to 1343, conducted an aggressive monetary policy aimed at asserting Savoyard commercial dominance over the Alpine trade routes connecting France and northern Italy. This small silver denomination — the fort — was among the instruments of that policy, circulating alongside a deliberately complex array of local issues intended to crowd out competing coinages in the mountain passes and valley markets under Savoyard control.
Aymon died without a male heir of age, triggering a regency that disrupted mint output almost immediately.
