| Obverse description | A grid of six compartments displays alternating swords and keys in various orientations, filling the field in a repeated heraldic pattern. The initials 'I E T' appear above the grid, serving as an abbreviated reference to Johannes Episcopus Tarpatensis (or Darpatensis). The overall design is characteristic of the small hammered billon coinage of the Livonian bishoprics, rendered in a rough, irregular style typical of the period. The devices are boldly struck within the small flan, with the compartmentalized arrangement giving the obverse a distinctive reticulated appearance. |
