Aymon of Savoy, who ruled as count from 1329 to 1343, earned the epithet "the Pacific" for his sustained efforts to avoid the dynastic and territorial conflicts that consumed his neighbors. His reign was administratively active despite its brevity — he consolidated comital finances and pursued treaties with the Dauphiné and the bishoprics along Savoyard borders. This groschen reflects that monetary ambition: Savoy under Aymon was expanding its coinage infrastructure to assert authority over an increasingly complex network of Alpine trade routes.
