| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays the crowned and quartered shield of Savoy, bearing the characteristic cross of the House of Savoy within a shaped escutcheon. The shield is rendered in low relief in the hammered style typical of late medieval Savoyard coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, reading AMEDEUS DUX, identifying the issuing ruler. The irregular flan edge and characteristic die-struck surface texture are consistent with mid-fifteenth century hammered silver production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Amadeus IX ruled Savoy under the effective regency of his wife Yolande of France — sister of Louis XI — while he suffered from severe epilepsy that rendered him largely incapable of governance. The "Little White" denomination was a small billon or silver fraction circulating across the Alpine territories at a moment when Savoyard monetary policy was increasingly dictated by French dynastic interests rather than ducal prerogative.
Amadeus was beatified in 1677, making him one of the very few ruling princes of his century to achieve that distinction.
