Aymon of Savoy, count from 1329 until his death in 1343, earned the epithet "the Peaceful" — a rare distinction in medieval Alpine politics. His reign produced a relatively stable monetary environment, and the douzain issued under his authority reflects a period when Savoy was actively consolidating its role as a transit economy between France and the Italian peninsula. The type designation connects it to the French douzain tradition, though Savoyard issues maintained distinct local weight and fineness standards rather than simply imitating Capetian coinage outright.
