| Reverse description | A crossed sword and pastoral key in saltire, displayed within a beaded inner circle and surrounded by a Latin legend in Gothic lettering identifying the coin as a new coinage of Dorpat. The sword and key are the heraldic symbols of the Bishopric of Dorpat, rendered in the bold, somewhat crude style typical of hammered billon coinage of the Baltic region in the mid-sixteenth century. |
