| Reverse description | A ram passant to the left, rendered in profile without the customary waving flag or banner behind it, occupying the central field within a plain inner circle. The animal is depicted in a naive, stylised manner characteristic of Gotlandic medieval coinage. A surrounding circular legend in uncial Latin script reads MONETA NOVA, proclaiming the coin as a new issue. The design is typical of the Visby civic coinage produced under Christian I during the second half of the fifteenth century. |

| Additional information |
Gotland's monetary autonomy during Christian I's reign was perpetually contested. The island had passed to Denmark by treaty in 1457 after Christian pledged it as collateral to Sweden — a debt never repaid — leaving its civic coinage in a prolonged administrative limbo that makes precise attribution of individual Visby issues genuinely difficult. Hauberg 91 distinguishes this type by the absence of the flag on the walking ram, a small but diagnostically critical difference from related varieties struck across the same period.
