| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a quartered shield of the Livonian Order, divided by an ornate cross and displaying the characteristic Teutonic cross in the upper-left quarter alongside a rampant lion in the upper-right quarter, with corresponding charges in the lower quarters, all set within elaborate scrollwork and filigree mantling. The shield is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. A continuous Latin legend runs along the coin's periphery, partially visible due to the irregular flan. |

| Reverse description | Central shield bearing the crossed keys of Riga — two keys arranged in saltire — enclosed within an ornamental cartouche decorated with scrollwork and foliate flourishes typical of late medieval Germanic minting. The shield is set within a beaded inner circle. A peripheral Latin legend surrounds the design, incorporating the date 1561 and the mint city attribution, with the legend divided and continuing around the full circumference of the irregular flan. |
