| Reverse description | Central field features the arms of the city of Riga — a crowned cross keys emblem — set within a beaded inner circle. The design is characteristic of Livonian schillings struck for Riga, with the civic heraldic motif clearly rendered despite the worn hammered strike. The circumferential Latin legend, distributed around the outer field, records the coin as a new issue of Riga and incorporates the last two digits of the date (57) flanking the legend. The overall style reflects the late medieval Livonian monetary tradition, with the flan showing typical irregularity of hand-struck billon coinage. |
