| Obverse description | Equestrian figure of Duke Charles I in armour, shown in full profile riding a horse to the right, with the horse in full gallop. The duke raises a sword in his right hand, the blade cutting through the encircling Latin legend. The composition is rendered in the bold, somewhat stylised manner characteristic of late medieval Savoyard hammered gold coinage, with the horse's musculature and the duke's armour rendered in low relief against a plain field. |
