| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing spread eagle with a small escutcheon on its breast occupies the central field, rendered in the late Gothic heraldic style typical of Livonian billon coinage. The eagle's wings are displayed and detailed with hatched feather work. A circular Latin legend surrounds the eagle, incorporating the date (46) as part of the inscription. The overall design is characteristic of the Hohenzollern-influenced archiepiscopal coinage of Wilhelm von Brandenburg. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Wilhelm von Brandenburg-Ansbach was appointed Archbishop of Riga in 1539 partly through the influence of his brother, Grand Master Albrecht of the Teutonic Order — a move that consolidated Hohenzollern ambitions across Livonia at precisely the moment the Reformation was dismantling the old ecclesiastical order. By 1545–46, Wilhelm was maneuvering politically between Lutheran reform pressures, the Polish Crown, and the remnants of Livonian Order authority. The billon fineness reflects a mint under fiscal strain. Haljak distinguishes this variety from related types by the specific placement of heraldic elements, making die attribution the only reliable tool for attribution within the series.
