Abstract We study the stability of an invisible fold-fold singularity of planar piecewise smooth Hamiltonian vector fields by computing some kind of Lyapunov coefficients. We obtain the general expressions for the first five Lyapunov coefficients. As a consequence, the bifurcation diagrams, illustrating the number, types and positions of the bifurcating small amplitude crossing limit cycles for these vector fields, are determined.
