| Obverse description | Central field bears the shield of Wilhelm von Fürstenberg, Master of the Livonian Order, depicted as a horizontally divided heraldic escutcheon with a stepped or embattled partition, rendered in a bold, slightly irregular hammered style characteristic of mid-16th century Baltic billon coinage. The shield is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, interrupted by the last two digits of the date (58), reading WILH - ELM - V · D · G - M · LI - 5 - 8, abbreviating Wilhelmus Dei Gratia Magister Livoniae. The overall design is typical of the schilling coinage struck at the Riga Mint under the authority of the Livonian Order. |
