| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two crossed keys, the symbol of the city of Riga, displayed prominently in the centre of the coin field, their bows facing upward and outward. The keys are rendered in a simple, bold hammered style consistent with early sixteenth-century Baltic coinage. A continuous circular legend surrounds the central device, with the date 1533 incorporated into the legend at the lower portion of the coin. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Wolter von Plettenberg served as Landmaster of the Livonian Order for an extraordinary 51 years, and this issue postdates his greatest military achievement — the 1502 Battle of Smolina, where his forces halted a Muscovite advance that might otherwise have ended Livonian independence a generation early. By 1533, Plettenberg had accepted the title of Prince of the Holy Roman Empire, a status reflected in the prestige these coins were meant to project despite their negligible silver content. The Order's financial position had deteriorated badly by this point.
The "wavy bottom" designation distinguishes this die variant from the straight-bottom type catalogued separately in Haljak II.
