| Reverse description | The arms of Savoy — a plain cross on a shield — displayed prominently at center, surmounted by a large ducal crown, all within a beaded inner circle. The letters F, E, R, T are positioned in the quarters of the shield, representing the motto of the House of Savoy. The surrounding Latin legend, separated by mullets or stops, encircles the entire design. The execution is characteristic of late medieval Savoyard hammered gold coinage, with bold relief on the shield and crown. |
