| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central shield of irregular form with a bumpy upper edge bearing the arms of the Archbishopric of Riga: a triangle above two stylized trees in the field. The shield is surrounded by a beaded or rope inner circle, with a Latin legend running along the outer periphery. The die-struck design is characteristic of the hammered billon coinage of Archbishop Thomas Schöning, with bold but somewhat crudely rendered heraldic elements typical of Livonian ecclesiastical issues of the mid-sixteenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Thomas Schöning served as Archbishop of Riga from 1528 until his death in 1539, presiding over a diocese caught between Lutheran reform sweeping through Livonia and the political pressures of the Livonian Confederation. By the mid-1530s, the Reformation had already taken firm hold in Riga's civic life, making these schillings among the final Catholic ecclesiastical issues from the city before the archbishopric's authority collapsed entirely within a generation.
The die variety distinguished here — fancy cross with bumpy top and smooth bottom — is one of several documented by Haljak for this type, reflecting the loose die-cutting practices common to smaller Livonian minting operations of the period.
