| Aanvullende informatie |
Riga applied countermarks to foreign gold gulden during this period as a municipal guarantee of accepted fineness, allowing coins struck elsewhere to circulate officially within the city's commercial networks. The practice was common among the major Baltic trading centers, where no single territorial mint could supply sufficient gold coinage for the volume of Hanseatic commerce passing through the port.
The city lost its status as a free imperial city when it submitted to Polish-Lithuanian suzerainty in 1581, which places a hard terminus on this issue.
