Obverse description Displayed eagle with spread wings occupies the central field, rendered in the late Gothic hammered style characteristic of Baltic ecclesiastical coinage. The eagle is set within a beaded inner circle, with the surrounding legend running along the coin's periphery between the inner and outer borders. The strike is moderately sharp, with the eagle's plumage and head clearly delineated despite the irregular flan.
