Reverse description A pointed shield at center bearing two crossed keys, the heraldic arms of the Archbishopric of Riga, displayed within a beaded inner circle. Small pellets or annulets appear in the left and right fields flanking the shield. A continuous Latin legend encircles the design along the outer rim, identifying the coin as a new coinage of Riga. The overall style is consistent with hammered silver coinage of the mid-16th-century Baltic region, with characteristic irregular flan edges.
