| Aversbeschreibung | Full-length effigy of King Edward IV standing facing within a ship, holding an upright sword in his right hand and a shield emblazoned with the royal arms in his left; a bowsprit projects from the prow, a banner bearing the letter Є flies from the stern, and a rose decorates the hull. A cross above crossed keys countermark, applied by Riga authorities, appears in the field. The composition follows the classic English ryal (rose-noble) type of the late fifteenth century, rendered in hammered gold with bold, Gothic figural style. The obverse legend in pseudo-Gothic lettering encircles the design within a beaded border. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Riga's civic authorities began countermarking foreign gold ryals in 1561, the same year the Livonian Order collapsed under pressure from Ivan the Terrible's forces and the territory fragmented among Poland-Lithuania, Sweden, and Denmark. The countermark effectively re-legitimized coins whose original issuing authority had ceased to exist — a practical solution to a monetary vacuum during sixty years of contested sovereignty over the eastern Baltic.
The ryal itself originated as a Scottish or English denomination. That a northern European port city would countermark it speaks directly to Riga's role as a major Hanseatic trading hub, where Western European gold arrived constantly through Baltic commerce.
