| Reverse description | Central shield divided into two main quarters: the dexter side bearing the imperial eagle of the Holy Roman Empire, and the sinister side depicting a mounted knight (the arms of Lithuania or Semigallia), with smaller subsidiary shields at the flanks. The achievement is set within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend reads MONETA · NOVA · ARGENTEA : ANNO : 1645 :, with the date also appearing prominently in the field. The composition is typical of the Baroque heraldic style prevalent in Baltic coinage of the mid-seventeenth century. |
