| Reverse description | A two-sectioned (bipartite) heraldic shield occupies the central field within an inner beaded circle, displaying the archiepiscopal arms of Riga: a patriarchal cross on one side and a crosier on the other, consistent with the 'regular shield' variety where the cross appears on the right and the crosier on the left. The shield is surmounted by an archiepiscopal crown or mitre. A circular Latin legend encircles the design in the outer field, invoking a devotional motto. |
