| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large two-sectioned heraldic shield dominates the central field, bearing the quartered arms of the Archbishopric of Riga and the House of Brandenburg-Ansbach, surmounted by a crown. The shield is enclosed within a beaded inner border, with the encircling devotional legend occupying the outer zone between the inner and outer rims. The hammered execution results in a slightly uneven strike typical of mid-sixteenth-century Livonian billon coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Wilhelm von Brandenburg-Ansbach was appointed Archbishop of Riga in 1539 under heavy pressure from the Hohenzollern family, and his tenure coincided with the slow dissolution of Livonian Catholic ecclesiastical authority under the advance of Lutheran reform. By 1547, the Archbishopric retained just enough administrative infrastructure to mint coinage, though its political grip on the region was visibly weakening. The billon content of these schillings reflects the broader monetary degradation across Livonian coinages through the mid-sixteenth century.
Haljak distinguishes the large-shield variety from the small-shield type by die — a distinction that matters for completeness-focused collectors of the series.
