| Reverse description | A heraldic eagle displayed occupies the central field, its wings spread and head turned, executed in the hammered style characteristic of 16th-century Baltic coinage. The eagle serves as the arms of the mint city of Arensburg (modern Kuressaare, Estonia). A circular Latin legend surrounds the device, incorporating the last two digits of the date. The overall design is typical of the small silver Ferding denomination struck for circulation in the Bishopric of Ösel-Wiek. |
