| Reverse description | Two crossed keys, the heraldic symbol of the Archbishopric of Riga, occupy the central field within a beaded inner circle, with the date numerals flanking the keys on either side. The keys are depicted in the traditional ecclesiastical manner, crossed saltire-wise. A circular Latin legend surrounding the inner circle identifies the coin as a new issue of Riga, reading along the full outer border between the beaded circle and the coin's rim. |
