| Beschrijving keerzijde | The heraldic gateway of the city of Riga — a turreted castle with three towers — occupies the central field, flanked by two rampant lions serving as supporters. Above the gateway, two crossed keys, the symbol of the city of Riga, are depicted. The date 1644 appears in the upper field, and the engraver's initials H·W are placed in the lower field to either side of the castle. A continuous Latin legend surrounds the entire composition along the rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Riga's civic gold coinage of the 1640s was minted under Swedish suzerainty — the city had been taken by Gustav II Adolf in 1621 — yet the municipality retained the jealously guarded right to strike its own ducats, a privilege it exercised with conspicuous civic pride. Christina's accession in 1632 eventually prompted a portrait update on the city's coinage, producing this second effigy type, which differs from the earlier portrait in facial treatment and is catalogued separately across all major references as a consequence.
