1 Schilling - Eric XIV Type 2, without shield

Aversbeschreibung	Central field bears the crowned royal cypher of Eric XIV — a large Gothic letter 'E' — flanked by the last two digits of the regnal year, with '6' to the left and '5' to the right, together forming the date (15)65. A small crown surmounts the monogram. The surrounding circular legend in Latin, separated by pellet stops, reads along the periphery of the coin. The die is struck on an irregular flan typical of hammered billon coinage of the period.

Reversbeschreibung	Central device depicts a single crowned lion passant within the field, rendered in a bold, somewhat crude hammered style consistent with mid-16th-century Baltic municipal coinage. The lion faces left with its tail raised. A circular Latin legend, punctuated by pellet stops and a rosette stop, surrounds the central device, identifying the coin as a new issue of Reval. The overall fabric is characteristic of the irregular billon schillings struck for the city under Swedish suzerainty.
