| Reverse description | Central device depicts a heraldic eagle displayed, its breast overlaid with a four-quartered shield bearing the arms of the Duchy of Courland and Semigallia. The shield is positioned prominently at center, with the eagle's wings spread to either side. A circular Latin legend surrounds the entire device along the coin's periphery, identifying the issuing duke. The composition is dense and finely articulated for the small module, consistent with mid-17th century hammered coinage of the Baltic duchies. |
