背面描述	Central field features two crossed keys in saltire, the traditional ecclesiastical symbol of Riga, surmounted by a small cross pattée, with the last two digits of the date divided on either side of the keys. Rosette or star ornaments punctuate the legend. The entire device is enclosed within a beaded or rope inner border, with a circular Latin legend running along the coin's periphery abbreviating the monetary authority.

附加信息	Riga's schilling coinage of this period reflects the city's precarious position during the Livonian crisis — the old Livonian Order had collapsed by 1561, and Riga spent much of the 1560s negotiating its status under the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth while retaining nominal municipal minting rights. The city finally submitted to Sigismund II Augustus in 1561 but jealously guarded its civic privileges, coinage among them. The billon content here is notably debased even by contemporary Baltic standards. Haljak distinguishes this as a third type within the schilling series, separated from earlier issues by die characteristics rather than obvious compositional shifts.
