| Reverse description | A large two-sectioned heraldic shield dominates the central field, divided horizontally: the upper half bearing the crossed keys and crozier of the Archbishopric of Riga, and the lower half displaying the eagle of Brandenburg. The shield is rendered without an inner border, characteristic of this specific variant. A circular Latin legend in Gothic lettering encircles the shield along the periphery, separated by pellet stops. The overall execution is typical of mid-sixteenth century hammered Baltic ecclesiastical coinage, with an irregular flan edge and moderate striking weakness in places. |
