| Obverse description | Central field displays the crowned shield of Savoy — a plain cross on a quartered field — surmounted by the ducal crown and flanked by the letters F-E and R-T, likely denoting the mint or monetary authority. The shield is adorned with a knotted rope or lace ornament above, a characteristic heraldic device associated with the House of Savoy. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The circumferential legend in Gothic-influenced Latin capitals reads CHAROLVS DVX SABAVDIE SECVNDVS, identifying Charles II as Duke of Savoy. |
