| Reverse description | A large ornate cross pattée occupies the center of the field, with the arms of the cross terminating in decorative fleurs-de-lis or foliate flourishes, dividing the coin into four quadrants. A crowned lion rampant is depicted at the center of the cross, likely representing the heraldic arms of the House of Savoy. Each quadrant contains additional heraldic or decorative elements. The peripheral legend runs around the outer edge within a beaded border, with the text divided by the arms of the cross. |
