| Reverse description | A large four-sectioned pointed shield of arms occupies the central field, displaying the heraldic devices of the Livonian Order, surmounted by an elaborate crowned cross with a Crucifixion scene at the top. Two crowned lions serve as supporters flanking the shield, with ornate Renaissance-style scrollwork and foliate mantling filling the surrounding field. A circular Latin legend in capital lettering runs along the beaded border, invoking the Virgin Mary. A piercing is visible at the right edge, consistent with the coin having been mounted or worn as a devotional piece. |
