| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central shield bearing the crossed keys, the heraldic arms of the city of Riga, rendered in an ornamented baroque cartouche. The shield is flanked by decorative flourishes and set within a beaded inner circle. The two-digit year date appears divided across the upper field, with the last two digits of the year flanking the central device. The surrounding Latin legend names the denomination and issuing city, running between the beaded border and the outer rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Riga's municipal solidus issues of the mid-seventeenth century reflect the city's anomalous political position: nominally under Swedish Crown authority following the 1621 conquest, yet retaining the right to strike its own civic coinage — a privilege jealously defended by the city council throughout Christina's reign. The Queen never visited Riga, and her abdication in 1654 brought this series to an abrupt close.
Billon of this fineness wore rapidly in circulation, and surviving examples with readable detail are harder to locate than the reference numbers suggest.
