| Reverse description | A sword and episcopal key crossed in saltire occupy the central field, with the sword pointing to the right and the key to the left, together symbolizing the spiritual and temporal authority of the Bishop of Dorpat. A small ornamental element, possibly a bishop's mitre or rosette, appears at the crossing point of the two implements. The central device is enclosed within a beaded circle, with a Latin legend in Gothic lettering distributed around the outer margin of the flan. The strike is typical of mid-sixteenth-century Livonian hammered billon coinage, with some weakness at the periphery. |
