| Obverse description | Central quartered shield bearing the arms of the Livonian Order, featuring alternating fields with crossed swords and heraldic charges in relief, typical of the hammered coinage of the period. The shield is surrounded by a circular legend in Latin Gothic lettering. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular flan and uneven strike of mid-16th century Livonian hammered silver. The field is flat and largely unadorned beyond the central armorial device. |
