| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bold Mauritian Cross — the cross pattée associated with the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus — occupies the central field, its four arms with trefoil terminals clearly defined in relief. Small pellets or annulets appear in the angles between the arms. A circular Latin legend surrounds the cross near the rim, bearing the devotional motto MIHI • ABSIT • GLORIARI, a reference to Galatians 6:14. The overall design is characteristic of Savoyard billon coinage of Carlo Emanuele I, struck on an irregular hammered flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Carlo Emanuele I ruled Savoy for fifty years, and his coinage reflects the dynasty's perpetual scramble to maintain credibility across French, Spanish, and Italian spheres simultaneously. The grossetto underwent repeated type revisions during his reign — this third type representing one of several attempts to stabilize a debased billon currency that was quietly hemorrhaging against heavier silver issues circulating throughout northern Italy.
Billon fineness on Savoyard small change of this period varied considerably between mint runs, and contemporary merchants routinely discounted these pieces at exchange.
