Reverse description Central field displays the heraldic shield of the Archbishopric of Riga, bearing a cross and distinctive ecclesiastical arms, struck on an irregular flan with crude but legible detail characteristic of early 16th-century hammered billon coinage. A circular legend in uncial Latin script surrounds the shield, identifying the issuing authority as the Archbishop of Riga. The overall design reflects a joint issue between the Livonian Order and the Archbishopric, with the reverse serving as the ecclesiastical counterpart to the obverse.
