| Obverse description | Central shield of the Livonian Order bearing three birds (griffins or ravens) arranged within a divided escutcheon, surmounted by a crown. The shield is set within a beaded inner circle, with a Gothic uncial legend encircling the field. The design is typical of late medieval Baltic hammered coinage, with somewhat irregular flan and bold relief elements. |

| Reverse description | A bold Greek-style cross occupying the full field, dividing the surrounding Gothic uncial legend into four sections between its arms. Each quadrant of the cross is plain, and the legend is contained within a beaded border running along the coin's outer edge. The die-work is characteristic of the Riga mint's late 15th-century hammered billon issues, with the legend interrupted by pelleted stops. |
