| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device depicting the city arms of Riga: a fortified castle gateway flanked by two rampant lions as supporters, surmounted by crossed keys, the symbol of the city's ecclesiastical and civic authority. The heraldic composition is contained within the inner field, with the mint city's Latin legend encircling the design along the periphery. The last two digits of the regnal year appear at the end of the reverse legend. The overall engraving reflects the accomplished civic coinage tradition of the Baltic region in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sigismund III Vasa's ducats struck at Riga represent one of the more politically fraught coinages of the Baltic region. Riga had only come under Polish-Lithuanian suzerainty in 1581, following the dissolution of the Livonian Confederation after decades of war involving the Teutonic Order, Sweden, Denmark, and Muscovy. The city jealously guarded its municipal privileges, and the right to mint remained a point of ongoing negotiation between the Riga magistracy and the Polish crown throughout this entire issue span.
The .986 fineness held remarkably close to the Venetian ducat standard, reflecting Riga's orientation toward Hanseatic trade networks rather than Polish monetary policy.
