| Obverse description | Central field displays the crowned arms of Savoy — a plain cross on a shield — flanked on either side by the interlaced double-F monogram of Emanuele Filiberto, rendered in a Gothic style characteristic of mid-sixteenth-century Savoyard coinage. The crown above the shield is of an open ducal form with visible arches and decorative finials. The entire central device is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The circumferential legend, separated from the field by the beaded border, reads in Latin identifying the duke as ruler of Savoy. |
