| Obverse description | A heraldic bird, representing the arms of Riga, depicted within a shield occupying the central field. The shield is rendered in a crude, hand-engraved style typical of late medieval Livonian bracteate-influenced coinage. A peripheral legend in uncial Latin characters encircles the central device. The overall execution is characteristic of hammered billon pfennigs of the Livonian Order period, with irregular flan and flat relief. |
