| 背面描述 | View of the fortified city gate of Riga depicted centrally, showing two prominent towers with a gateway arch between them, surmounted by a cross and a small orb or globe finial; the structure is rendered in fine architectural detail characteristic of baroque civic coinage. The date 1707 is divided and placed to either side of the gate structure in the lower field, with the mintmaster's initials JCH appearing below. The circular Latin legend surrounding the design identifies this as the new gold coin of the city of Riga. |

Riga had been under Swedish control since 1621, but by 1707 the city's days as a Swedish possession were numbered. Charles XII was fighting the Great Northern War on multiple fronts, and the Russian siege of Riga was still three years away — but the economic strain of prolonged warfare was already reshaping how the city administered its coinage privileges. This ducat belongs to a municipal issue produced under Swedish suzerainty at a moment when that authority was beginning to fracture irreversibly.
Charles XII would never recover militarily after Poltava in 1709. Riga fell to Peter the Great in 1710.
