| Obverse description | A quartered armorial shield of the Livonian Order is centrally positioned atop a cross, the entire device enclosed within a square inner border. The shield displays the heraldic charges of the Order across its four quarters. A Latin legend is arranged above and below the shield within the square frame, citing the issuing authority and date. The overall composition reflects the late medieval German hammered coinage tradition, with bold Gothic lettering surrounding the central device. |
