| Reverse description | Two curved heraldic shields displayed side by side beneath a ducal crown: the dexter shield bearing an eagle and the sinister shield bearing an armored horseman, together representing the arms of Courland and Semigallia. The date 1762 appears below the shields. A circular Latin legend surrounds the entire composition at the periphery. This variant is distinguished by the absence of a wreath below the shields. |
