| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a panoramic view of the historic St. Simon's Church of Valmiera situated on a rocky promontory above the Gauja River, rendered in fine engraved detail with surrounding stone ruins at either side. Below the waterline, a reflected image of a Hanseatic sailing vessel with unfurled sails is shown mirrored in the river's surface, symbolizing Valmiera's membership in the Hanseatic League. The legend 'VALMIERA' is inscribed in the upper field, while 'HANZAS PILSĒTA' (meaning 'Hanseatic City') curves along the lower right portion of the field. The overall composition effectively contrasts the city's ecclesiastical and mercantile heritage through the dual imagery of church and ship. |
