| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field displays two crossed keys or similar crossed implements within a round inner circle, a device associated with the ecclesiastical authority of the Archbishopric of Riga. The inscription MONETA is distributed around the periphery in uncial letters, identifying the piece as official coinage. The style is consistent with the primitive yet distinctive hammered technique of early 15th-century Livonian ecclesiastical issues, with an irregular flan and boldly struck but uneven lettering. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Johannes VI Ambundi held the archiepiscopal seat in Riga during one of the more turbulent stretches of the Livonian church's political history, caught between the Teutonic Order's persistent encroachment on ecclesiastical authority and the commercial interests of the Hanseatic city below him. The Lübische denomination itself reflects Riga's deep monetary alignment with Lübeck — the city actively pegged its small silver coinage to the Lübeck standard rather than adopting the Order's own currency system, a quiet but pointed assertion of civic and clerical independence.
