| Obverse description | A large displayed eagle with spread wings occupies the central field, rendered in the Gothic heraldic style typical of 16th-century Baltic coinage. The eagle faces dexter and is depicted within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding circumscription in Latin reads GVILHELM · D · G · A · EP · R, identifying the issuer as Wilhelm von Brandenburg, Archbishop of Riga, by the grace of God. The lettering is executed in Gothic minuscule characters. The overall die work is characteristic of the hammered billon schillings produced for the Archbishopric of Riga in its final year of issue. |
