| Reverse description | Central field displays the arms of the Bishopric of Dorpat — a crossed sword and key in saltire — contained within a beaded inner circle, emblematic of the episcopal authority of Dorpat. The crossed sword and key are rendered in bold relief in the hammered Gothic style consistent with Livonian ferdings of this era. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device between the inner ring and the flan edge, reading MONETA · NOVA · TA · 57, indicating the year of issue and identifying the coin as a new coinage of Dorpat. The legend is executed in Gothic script with dot stops between words. The reverse strike, like the obverse, displays typical irregularities of hand-hammered production. |
